    Abstract: An optical fiber recoating apparatus employs a variable size applicator for depositing a coating material in liquid form onto a portion of varying diameter optical fiber. The coating material is applied to the variable size applicator which is in continuous contact about the circumference of the optical fiber. At a constant speed the variable size applicator moves along the length of the optical fiber while simultaneously changing size to conform to the varying diameter of the optical fiber for applying a uniform coating thereto.

    Abstract: A method of producing a thermally stable grating allows the grating to be placed in environments where temperatures reach 1000° C. These gratings may be concatenated so as to form a sensor array. The method requires a step of lowering the characteristic intensity threshold of a waveguide by at least 25%, followed by irradiating the waveguide with femtosecond pulses of light having a sufficient intensity and for a sufficient duration to write the grating so that at least 60% of the grating remains after exposures of at least 10 hours at a temperature of at least 1000° C. Pre-writing a Type I grating before writing a minimal damage Type II grating lowers the characteristic threshold of the waveguide so that a stable low damage type II grating can be written; alternatively providing a hydrogen or deuterium loaded waveguide before writing the grating lowers the characteristic threshold of the waveguide.
