title = "Femtosecond direct-write uberstructure waveguide Bragg gratings in ZBLAN",
abstract = "Strong waveguide Bragg gratings (10.5 dB transmission dip) were fabricated using the femtosecond (fs) laser directwrite technique in ZBLAN glass. The Bragg gratings are based on depressed cladding waveguides and consist of planes, periodic according to the Bragg condition, which are constructed from a transverse hexagonal lattice of smaller point features. Such gratings are a key step toward the realization of mid-infrared monolithic waveguide lasers using the fs laser direct-write technique.",
