In-fiber polymer–glass hybrid waveguide Bragg grating

Abstract

A 1.2 µm (height) × 125 µm (depth) × 500 µm (length) microslot along a fiber Bragg grating was engraved across the optical fiber by femtosecond laser patterning and chemical etching. By filling epoxy in the slot and subsequent UV curing, a hybrid waveguide grating structure with a polymer core and glass cladding was fabricated. The obtained device is highly thermally responsive with linear coefficient of 211 pm/°C.
