We report on the optimization of ultrashort pulse laser written VBGs for UV applications. The VBGs are directly inscribed in fused silica by applying ultrashort laser pulses and the phase mask scanning technique and exhibit geometries and reflectivities comparable to conventional gratings. For applications below 300nm, absorption in the VBG is a critical issue. Therefore, we investigate the influence of absorption on writing parameters and thermal annealing. The optimized gratings in fused silica show a significantly reduced residual absorption, making these optimized gratings well suited for low wavelength applications especially in the Near-UV and below.
