Induced Bragg Gratings in Optical Fibers and Waveguides Using an Ultrafast Infrared Laser and a Phase Mask

Figure 22

Large birefringence of the refractive-index modulation induced by a symmetric cladding exposure of a strong type I-IR core grating. The two orthogonal polarization states are denoted by the gray and black traces, respectively.
