Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes the systems commonly employed for producing fiber Braggs gratings (FBGs) in silica fibers that can be used for the production of POFBGs Explores different laser sources for the inscription of POFBGs Explores the capability of using this technology at the visible and infrared region, in different fiber types (e.g., step-index, microstructured, unclad, highly birefringent) and in fibers composed of different polymer materials such as PMMA, doped PMMA, PS and ZEONEX Reports the fabrication of different types of POF gratings, such as uniform, phase-shifted, tilted, chirped, and long period gratings Shows the opportunities of POFBGs for a variety of sensing applications
