Abstract

We present the experimental observation of multi-wavelength fiber Bragg gratings in As2Se3 fiber. The gratings are internally written via two-photon absorption of 1550 nm pump light and its first and second order Stokes waves generated by cascaded stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We demonstrate a parameter regime that allows for 4 dB grating enhancement by suppression of SBS.
