Femtosecond laser line-by-line tilted Bragg grating inscription in single-mode step-index TOPAS/ZEONEX polymer optical fiber. Qu, H., Chen, Z., Gao, S., Min, R., Woyessa, G., Bang, O., Wang, H., Caucheteur, C., & Hu, X. Optics Letters, Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 15 March 2023.
Paper doi abstract bibtex In this Letter, we demonstrate 8°-tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) inscription in single-mode step-index TOPAS/ZEONEX polymer optical fibers (POFs) using a 520 nm femtosecond laser and the line-by-line (LbL) writing technique. As a result of the tilt angle and the fiber refractive index, a large spectral range of cladding mode resonances covering 147 nm is obtained. The evolution of the transmitted spectrum is analyzed as a function of the surrounding refractive index (SRI) in a large range from 1.30 to 1.50. The cutoff cladding mode shows a refractive index sensitivity of 507 nm/RIU (refractive index unit). For single-resonance tracking near the cutoff mode, the sensitivity is at least 6 nm/RIU, depending on the exact wavelength position of the cladding modes. The main originality of our work is that it produces, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a TFBG in POF that operates in the refractive index range of aqueous solutions. The sensing capability for a large range of refractive index values is also relevant for (bio)chemical sensing in different media.
