Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a 962-nm Bragg wavelength was fabricated in trans-4-stilbenemethanol doped poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer optical fibers (POFs) using a phase mask with 17% zeroth-order diffraction for the inscription wavelength of 325 nm. The effect of zeroth-order diffraction of t...
