Abstract
Since the discovery by Hill et al.1 in 1978 of the buildup of Bragg reflection in germanosilicate optical fibers illuminated by argon-ion laser light, the mechanism responsible for the effect has remained a mystery. The experiments show that the effect has a two-photon signature at 488 nm and requires germanium doping.2
