Characteristics, Applications, and Properties of Carbon-Dioxide-Laser-Induced Long-Period Fiber Gratings

Long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) are typically fabricated by exposing photosensitive optical fiber to ultraviolet light. However, LPFGs can be fabricated by a variety of other techniques, including exposure to carbon-dioxide (CO2) laser light. The physical process by which the refractive-index c...
