We have observed a permanent shift in the grating wavelength at room temperature which occurs when the grating has been heated above a threshold temperature. This threshold temperature is dependent on the thermal history of the grating, and we attribute the effect to a shrinking of the fiber. This effect can be avoided by annealing the fiber before grating inscription, resulting in a linear response with temperature and an increased linear operating temperature range of the grating. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/2136 | ISSN: | 10944087 | DOI: | 10.1364/OE.15.008844 | Rights: | © Optical Society of America | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Aston University Higher Technical Institute Cyprus University of Sydney |
