The results show that the treated fibers with lower stresses have lower thermal sensitivity in △λ than that of non-treated fiber. However, the treated fibers produce FMFBGs with better thermal durability and regeneration ratio. It is conceived that the presence of those stresses in the pristine fiber is responsible for the high thermal sensitivity in △λ. The thennal relaxation of stresses and structural rearrangement during the thennal annealing process are responsible for the degradation of the strength and resilience of the regenerated grating.展开更多
