Abstract

In this paper we show preliminary experimental studies on accelerated aging-tests of tapered fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG). Examined gratings were fabricated on tapered and then hydrogenated optical fibers using uniform phase mask and scanning technique. In particular, the impact of isothermal annealing of TFBGs on their spectral and dispersion characteristics was analyzed. Experimental results show that although reflectance levels of TFBGs significantly reduce due to the aging process, slopes of the group delay characteristics remain practically unchanged. New knowledge on spectral and dispersion characteristics of TFBGs written in hydrogen loaded optical fibers is important in possible applications, where long-term stability and reliability is required.
