Grating writing through the fibre coating at 244nm and 248nm

High quality fibre Bragg gratings have been written through the fibre coating using both 244nm frequency-doubled Ar<sup>+</sup>-ion and 248nm KrF excimer lasers for the first time. A standard off-the-shell coating was used, and 92% reflectivity gratings were obtained with an index change...
