Core stress changes are positive indicating a compaction contribution to the index change.Optical FibersFiber Bragg gratingsPhotosensitivityFabrication of fiber Bragg gratings in 40 mm diameter low GeO2 silica fiber using cw-Ar+-lasertext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
