Inscription of fibre Bragg gratings in non-sensitised fibres using VUV F2 laser radiation (2008)
Journal Article
Dyer, P. E., Johnson, A. M., & Walton, C. D. (2008). Inscription of fibre Bragg gratings in non-sensitised fibres using VUV F2 laser radiation. Optics express, 16(23), 19297-19303. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.16.019297

We report the inscription of fibre Bragg gratings in non-sensitised SMF 28 and HI 980 fibre by exposure to VUV F2 laser radiation at 157nm. The modulated effective refractive index change Δneff deduced from the shift in the grating reflection peaks w...

Ionization in vacuum ultraviolet F2 laser ablated polymer plumes (2007)
Journal Article
Dyer, P. E., Pervolaraki, M., Walton, C. D., Lippert, T., Kuhnke, M., & Wokaun, A. (2008). Ionization in vacuum ultraviolet F2 laser ablated polymer plumes. Applied physics. A, Materials science & processing, 90(3), 403-409. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00339-007-4341-x

An experimental investigation of ion generation in the 157-nm vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) F-2 laser ablation of three selected polymers - glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), a triazene polymer (TP6) and polyimide - is described. An ion collector probe is used... Read More about Ionization in vacuum ultraviolet F2 laser ablated polymer plumes.
