Bragg gratings with a second-order resonance wavelength in the near-IR spectral region have been inscribed into single-mode chalcogenide (As{sub 2}S{sub 3}) glass fibre by a He - Ne laser beam using a configuration typical of Bragg grating fabrication in germanosilicate fibre, with the use of a phase mask that ensures effective diffraction of the writing light into the +1 and -1 orders. The spectra of the inscribed gratings show no resonances due to cladding mode excitation because the cladding material is photosensitive. (fibre optics)
