The paper reports the inscription of second- and third-order fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in single-mode optical fiber (SMF-28e+) via the line-by-line (LbL) and the point-by-point (PbP) methods using femtosecond laser radiation. The use of these methods jointly with based on an automatic spatial deviation correction system is considered. The approach allows to significantly improve spectral characteristics of FBG without the loss of fabrication performance.

The paper presents the results of fiber Bragg gratings fabrication by femtosecond laser radiation using point-by-point and line-by-line inscription methods. The approach makes it possible to fabricate the second and higher diffraction orders fiber Bragg gratings, which can be used as sensitive elements of fiber-optic sensors.

In this paper, a sapphire-derived fiber (SDF) with a core diameter of 10 μm and a cladding diameter of 125 μm is fabricated by the melt-in-tube method, and fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with reflectivity over 80% are prepared by the femtosecond laser point-by-point direct writing method. By analyzing the refractive index distribution and reflection spectral characteristics of the SDF, it can be seen that the SDF is a graded refractive index few-mode fiber. In order to study the element composition of the SDF core, the end-face element distribution of the SDF is analyzed, which indicates that element diffusion occurred between the core and the cladding materials. The temperature and stress of the SDF gratings are measured and the highest temperature is tested to 1000 °C. The temperature and strain sensitivities are 15.64 pm/°C and 1.33 pm/με, respectively, which are higher than the temperature sensitivity of the quartz single-mode fiber. As a kind of special fiber, the SDF expands the application range of sapphire fiber, and has important applications in the fields of high-temperature sensing and high-power lasers.

In this study, a high-resolution optical fiber Fabry–Pérot (FP) interferometer displacement sensor with chirped spectral characteristics based on a tapered microfiber is theoretically discussed and experimentally implemented. Instead of inscribing two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) on the symmetric position of the microfiber, we continuously inscribed one long FBG along the microfiber region to reduce the cavity length. The bandwidth of the interferometer is over 35 nm, and its displacement sensitivity is as high as 36.5 nm/mm at the tension state.
