High photosensitivity in SnO<sub>2</sub>:SiO<sub>2</sub> optical fibres

Enhanced photosensitivity has been achieved in tin-doped silica optical fibers. Refractive index modulations (~3×10<sup>-4</sup>) have been achieved by use of 248nm UV radiation. Studies performed on preform slides proved that the refractive index change can be ascribed to structural rea...
