Effect of molecular water on thermal stability of gratings in hydrogen-loaded optical fibers

Photolytically generated water causes induced loss at 1.55 /spl mu/m as well as decay of fiber gratings in UV-irradiated hydrogen-loaded fibers at temperatures below 350/spl deg/C. These side effects can be eliminated by annealing at 500/spl deg/C.
