Description: We review and update our recent work in grating writing into various structured optical fibres such as photonic crystal fibres. To date, most gratings have been written in a straightforward manner into structured fibres containing a photosensitive germanosilicate step-index core. However, gratings have also been written directly into single material, structured silica fibres and into air-clad cores using two and higher photon processes with both UV and near IR pulsed (ns-fs) light. Given the intrinsic added functionality possible within a structured optical fibre, structured fibre gratings offer further capabilities for sensors, diagnostics, lasers and devices, including potentially new lab-in-a-fibre technology.
