Abstract
The thermal response of optical fibers during laser irradiation has been characterized by using thermally stable short-period fiber Bragg gratings, referred to as chemical composition gratings. laser beam profiling was performed by scanning the beam across a 1 mm long grating, providing a spatial resolution given by the fiber diameter. The thermal dynamics during square pulse irradiation has been recorded for temperatures in excess of 1700°C, with heating and cooling rates as high as and , respectively.
