Hallo friends,

I bother you for help.

I am trying to write a LPG into a photosensitive fiber type Nufern GF1
by point to point technique (i.e. I am using a shutter to block the
beam and making a pattern with period 400um). I have used a power of
50mW and the beam is focused into a spot of 200um, the exposure time
is 3min per cell, 60 cells . The result is: nothing!

Does anybody have an idea about what I do wrong?

I have some dubts already, but I am not sure whether they are correct
or not:
1) the photosensitivity is still too low and I will never get anything
with this laser (I cannot send in more power)
2) I do not make beam filtering to avoid the waste of power. Does this
limit the focusing due to abberations?

Thanks in advance to anybody who can give me some hints!
