AI Article Synopsis

  • Optical waveguides with Bragg gratings were created in bulk fused silica using a femtosecond laser, eliminating the need for traditional methods like lithography or ion-beam techniques.
  • This technique allows for the efficient manufacturing of waveguide-Bragg grating reflectors.
  • The resulting devices are designed to operate in the C band, which is important for various telecommunications applications.

Article Abstract

Optical waveguides that incorporate Bragg gratings have been written in bulk fused silica by using the femtosecond laser direct-write method and without the need for lithography or ion-beam techniques. A single manufacturing process is used to create waveguide-Bragg grating reflectors for operation in the C band.
