Main fibre Bragg grating fabrication processes

In this chapter, we introduce and review the technology of Bragg gratings in optical fibres. We detail the aspect of photosensitivity in optical fibres, the properties of Bragg gratings, and the main developments in devices and applications. The most dominant fabrication techniques, including interferometric, phase mask and point-by-point are developed and their respective advantages/disadvantages discussed accordingly.
