In this paper, we compare photosensitivity, refractive‐index modulation depth, spectral bandwidth, and excess loss through the inscription of fiber Bragg gratings in unloaded and hydrogen‐loaded fibers with low‐ or high‐germanium concentration and boron co‐doping. Gratings in hydrogenated boron co‐doped fibers possess the highest reflectivity, but with wider bandwidth and strong excess loss. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
