Kaedah untuk menghasilkan peranti FBG yang mempunyai peratus pantulan yang tinggi diperkenalkan. Peranti FBG telah dicetak dalam gentian optik khas yang mengandungi germanium dan boron yang tinggi. Kandungan germanium ion di dalam gentian optik teras adalah sebanyak mol 20%. Cara yang digunakan ialah cara percetakan topeng fasa dengan menggunakan cahaya ultra ungu ion yang mempunyai panjang gelombang 244 nm sebagai sumber cahaya. Kami telah berjaya menghasilkan FBG yang mempunyai peratus pantulan setinggi 99.9% dan masa yang diambil untuk cetakan adalah kurang daripada 10 minit. Kata kunci: gentian optik; peranti FBG; laser UV; panjang gelombang Bragg; topeng fasa A technique to fabricate high reflectivity fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with minimal optics is presented. The FBG is written in high germania boron co-doped optical fiber using a phase mask with a 244 nm continuous-wave UV light as the printing source. The mol percentage of germania ion in the fiber core is about 20%. We have successfully fabricated FBGs with reflectivity as high as 99.9% in less than 10 minutes of exposure time. Key words: Optical fiber; fiber Bragg grating; UV laser; Bragg wavelength; phase maskDownloads
