Abstract
We study the physics of photosensitive-fiber-grating formation in optical fibers, assuming a local bleaching model, and demonstrate that sustained grating growth is possible. Good agreement with our experimental results is obtained after including fiber heating effects and assuming a reasonable two-photon absorption cross section. The grating is predicted to be chirped in space.Keywords
