A method of writing long-period fiber gratings and a model to explain light coupling between the fundamental mode and the cladding modes are presented. An athermal hermetic sealing approach is proposed to form hermetic sealing of the long-period fiber gratings. A low temperature glass solder is introduced to seal around the fiber. The sealing and optical performance test results are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
