Abstract
- Polymer optical fiber (POF) with a core of azopolymer has been fabricated. Based on the photoinduced birefringence of azopolymer materials, a mechanism for writing POF gratings is presented. After writing in azopolymer optical fiber (APOF) by two beams of mutually orthogonal polarizations, a birefringence grating was formed, and then the gratings could be erased almost totally for a short time by the circularly polarized beam at the same wavelength. By manipulating the APOF gratings, the transmittance through APOF at 632.8 nm can be adjustable as revealed by the transmittance change during write-erase-write procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
