Two slightly shifted gratings are inscribed, one over the other, in an SMF fiber with a femtosecond laser and a phase mask. The transmission spectrum of the complex structure is similar to that of a phase-shifted grating; yet, the fabrication process is fast and simple compared to standard methods. High-quality semi-phase-shifted gratings with -24 dB transmission loss and <100 pm transmission bandwidth are presented. Their application as highly narrow micro-resonators and notch filters seems feasible.

Femtosecond laser inscription in a ytterbium-doped silver-containing phosphate glass is demonstrated by achieving 3D highly localized laser-induced silver photochemistry. The produced fluorescent silver nanoclusters lead to high optical contrast in the visible range, showing that the coinsertion of Yb ions is not detrimental to the silver-based photochemistry. We demonstrate efficient energy transfer from these silver nanoclusters to the rare-earth Yb ions, leading to near-IR background-free fluorescence emission.

This inline optical fibre chromatic dispersion analyser is based upon collocated fibre long-period gratings written adjacently in the core by femtosecond laser inscription yielding 8 attenuation bands associated with different cladding modes, yielding 8 independent measurements. This fibre device is tested on a series of chemical compounds associated with wines.

By integrating the spherical aberration (SA) with a laser 2D scanning process, a planar refractive index modification (RIM) region can be induced in the fiber core. Thanks to the Pl-b-Pl inscription, a high-quality fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in an EYDF is produced, exhibiting a grating strength exceeding 40 dB and an insertion loss of 0.
