Photothermal effects in fiber Bragg gratings
Applied Optics, 2006 Writing a fiber Bragg grating in optical fiber generates an intrinsic broadband absorption term that can result in photothermal heating during subsequent use with fiber core guided light. This, in turn, can cause a significant shift of a grating resonance via the thermo-optic coefficient, even at low in-fiber light powers.

Low Threshold Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers Based on CsPbI3 Thin Films
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The first vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser (VCSEL) based on CsPbI3 thin films is fabricated by planar hot pressing. By optimizing the cavity design through optical gain assessment and rigorous coupled‐wave analysis, the VCSEL achieved an exceptionally low lasing threshold of 2.8 µJ cm−2.

Polymer Fiber Bragg Gratings [PDF]
, 2011 This chapter deals with gratings recorded in polymeric optical fibers (POFs); predominantly those based on poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). We summarize the different mechanical and optical properties of POFs which are relevant to the application of POF Bragg gratings and discuss the existing literature on the subject of the UV photosensitivity of ...
