Effect of CO <sub>2</sub> Laser Annealing on Stress Applying Parts Contributing Toward Birefringence Modification in Regenerated Grating in Polarization Maintaining Fiber

In this paper, we have demonstrated birefringence modification in regenerated grating in polarization maintaining fiber (RGPMF) by using a CO<sub>2</sub> laser annealing technique. After conducting an isothermal annealing procedure followed by a slow cooling process, the birefringence of...
