Photosensitive mechanisms in germanosilicate optical fiber and planar waveguides.

In this thesis, the microscopic and macroscopic mechanisms for photosensitive grating formation in germania-doped silica optical waveguides are investigated. The wavelength dependent response of grating growth is examined in doped-core optical fibers and correlated to defect generation in the materi...
