In our experiment, bulk glasses of chalcogenide systems Ga-Ge-S, As/sub 2/S/sub 3/ and Ga-Ge-S thin films have been used. Photo-structuring of the bulk glasses has been obtained by using low energy (< 2.5 nj) fs laser pulses with wavelength of 815 nm, while the films have been photo-structured by using both fs and nitrogen lasers. Spherical structures in the bulk glasses have been found whose geometrical form and size depend on both the sample translation velocity and the laser pulse energy. With increasing the sample translation velocity up to 3 cm/s, and for values of the average laser power of 150 mW, the spherical structures disappear and flat waveguides are created. The manufacturing laser threshold for bulk chalcogenide glasses was found to be about 2 /spl middot/ 10/sup 10/ W/cm/sup 2/. For the case of films irradiated by the nitrogen laser a blue shift of the optical absorption edge and a decrease of the refractive index were measured. The considerable and controllable change of the optical parameters allowed us to create waveguides showing the possibility of realizing integrated optical circuits with high density of elements.","PeriodicalId":445290,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 IEEE/LEOS Workshop on Fibres and Optical Passive Components, 2005.","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129510209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The radiation induced optical absorption in the UV-visible spectral range (200 nm - 450 nm) was monitored, off-line, for each irradiation steps. For some samples, after each irradiation a temperature stress was applied to investigate the thermal annealing of the optical absorption. The dynamics of the irradiation induced color centers was evaluated using a Gaussian deconvolution of the absorption spectra, in the UV spectral range. One of the solarization resistant optical fiber has a very good radiation resistance. This optical fiber loses its quality if it is heated prior to the irradiation. The amplitude and the location of the radiation induced optical attenuation peaks depend on the optical fiber type and the dimension of its core.","PeriodicalId":445290,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 IEEE/LEOS Workshop on Fibres and Optical Passive Components, 2005.","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133727466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the two-tone generation and the pulse modulation are obtained from a single LiNbO/sub 3/ modulator, driven by standard microwave pulse generator. The obtained two optical signals have inherently the same linear polarisation. The frequency spacing is precisely set by the modulation signal and no adjustment is required during the measurement because there is no wavelength difference drifting. The systematic errors produced by either stimulated Brillouin scattering or the spectral component coincidence are eliminated. The measurement scheme without expensive optical equipment is simple and well applicable to field measurement. It has long-term stability and good measurement repeatability. The introduced measurement scheme is applicable to all currently available fibre types including photonic crystal fibres.","PeriodicalId":445290,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 IEEE/LEOS Workshop on Fibres and Optical Passive Components, 2005.","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131063655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Continuous true time delay can be achieved by changing the temperature along the grating region. Experimental setup uses a metallic support on which the grating is bonded. This allows to increase the temperature sensitivity of LCFBG, assuring the temperature uniformity too.

Besides the most studied technique of bulk poling, recently a novel technique where domain inversion occurs just in a surface layer using photoresist or silica masks has been devised and studied. This surface periodic poling (SPP) approach is best suited when light is confined in a thin surface guiding layer or stripe, as in the case of optical waveguide devices. Also, we found that SPP respect to bulk poling offers two orders of magnitude reduction on the scale of periodicity, so that even nanostructures can be obtained provided a high resolution holographic mask writing technique is adopted. We were able to demonstrate 200 nm domain size, and also good compatibility with alpha-phase proton exchange channel waveguide fabrication. Our first experiments on lithium tantalate have also shown that the SPP technology appears to be applicable to this crystal (SPPLT), whose properties can allow to overcome limitations such as optical damage or UV absorption still present in PPLN devices. Finally, the issue of SPP compatibility with proton exchange waveguide fabrication will be addressed.","PeriodicalId":445290,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 IEEE/LEOS Workshop on Fibres and Optical Passive Components, 2005.","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114447794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
