The evolution of hydrogen diffusion into a single-mode optical fiber before exposure, and out of the fiber after exposure was characterized, and the results were consistent with the theoretical modeling. The shifting of Bragg wavelength and thermal reliability were found related to the hydrogen behavior inside the fiber. One solution to prevent Bragg wavelength from drifting after the grating was formed and hence to increase the grating's reliability was to anneal it so that the residual hydrogen was forced out of the optical fiber in a short time.application/pdf156391 bytesapplication/pdfen-USAnnealing; Diffraction gratings; Diffusion; Hydrogen; Photosensitivity; Ultraviolet radiation; Bragg grating; Thermal reliability; Optical fiber fabricationjournal article10.1007/s0033900504632-s2.0-0031069074WOS:A1997WJ51800012http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/148122/1/05.pdf
