Abstract

This paper reports on processing methods used to produce phase masks for near field holographic writing of fibre gratings. The masks are produced using e-beam lithography (EBL) and reactive ion etching (RIE). We shall discuss the relations between grating parameters such as ridge duty cycle and groove-depth and processing conditions such as exposure dose and resist profiles.
