N1 - Funding Information:
Both unsaturated and saturated gratings are fabricated in passive phosphate glass fibers by using a 193 nm excimer laser. Thermal annealing experiment on these gratings demonstrated that a strong thermal growth of grating strength requires the UV-induced seed gratings to be overexposed beyond saturation. Possible physical explanations of this behavior will be discussed at the meeting. This work is supported by NSERC and the National Sciences Foundation through grant No. 0725479

N2 - We demonstrate that the strong thermal growth of fiber Bragg gratings in phosphate glass fibers at temperatures between 100 - 250 °C requires the seed gratings written using 193 nm light to be overexposed beyond saturation.
