Abstract
It is well known that germanium-doped silica and a number of other fiber materials exhibit photorefractivity; that is, their refractive index changes in the process of exposure to ultraviolet or blue light. This phenomenon gives an opportunity to produce different types of in-fiber gratings, which are successfully used in many optical devices [1-3].
