The paper reports the inscription of second- and third-order fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in single-mode optical fiber (SMF-28e+) via the line-by-line (LbL) and the point-by-point (PbP) methods using femtosecond laser radiation. The use of these methods jointly with based on an automatic spatial deviation correction system is considered. The approach allows to significantly improve spectral characteristics of FBG without the loss of fabrication performance.

A review of recent progress in the use of infrared femtosecond lasers to fabricate optical fiber sensors that incorporate fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and random fiber gratings (RFG) is presented. The important advancements in femtosecond laser writing based on the phase mask technique now allow through-the-coating (TTC) fabrication of Bragg gratings in ultra-thin fiber filaments, tilted fiber Bragg gratings, and 1000 °C-resistant fiber Bragg gratings with very strong cladding modes. As an example, through-the-coating femtosecond laser writing is used to manufacture distributed fiber Bragg grating sensor arrays for oil pipeline leak detection. The plane-by-plane femtosecond laser writing technique used for the inscription of random fiber gratings is also reviewed and novel applications of the resultant devices in distributed temperature sensing, fiber lasers and fiber laser sensors are discussed.
