FABRICATION OF FIBER BRAGG GRATINGS USING INFILTRATED HOLLOW CORE PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBERS
In this work, four fibers Bragg gratings were fabricated by infiltration different volumes of liquids (star line Glass Mechanix optical adhesive material, olive oil diluted with ethanol) into the hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC19-1550 (Thorlab company)). The amplitude splitting interferometric technique with a high resolution specially designed translation stage was used for the fabrication process. This stage is capable of moving the fibers in micrometer resolution steps. The fabrication was carried out using blue laser operated at wavelength of 405 nm.
