摘要
We report the observation of permanent photoinduced birefringence in a Ge-doped fiber exposed to cw mode locked light at 532 nm. This effect is enhanced by increasing the Ge concentration in the core of the fiber, or by submitting it to a thermal hydrogen treatment. The photoinduced birefringence is however very weak, or nonexistent, with irradiation by 514 or 488 nm cw argon laser light.
