Thermal annealing of the FBGs was investigated using continuous isochronal annealing.FibThermal reliabilityBi-doped fibersThermal decay of UV Ar+ and ArF excimer laser fabricated Bragg gratings in SMF-28e and Bi-Al-doped optical fibertext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
