摘要：

We report a novel method to increase the UV photosensitivity of GeO2:SiO2 optical fibers based on exposure to CO2 laser irradiation before grating writing. Fibers treated with a CO2 laser can produce gratings with refractive-index modulation two times greater and a Bragg wavelength that can be 2 nm longer than those of untreated fibers. Experiments on GeO2:SiO2 preform samples treated with a CO2 laser in a way similar to the fibers showed a marked increase of the 242-nm absorption band, which is associated with an increase of germanium oxygen-deficient centers and is believed to be responsible for the higher photorefractive response.
