The thermal stability of Type I gratings is increased by postthermal tuning of the grating. Optimization of the procedure leads to gratings that can withstand temperatures as high as $600°\mathrm{C}$ . Aging tests lead to lifetime predictions as high as $25\text{\hspace{0.17em}years}$ with $<3\mathrm{dB}$ reduction at $400°\mathrm{C}$ . Single exponential relaxation is observed. Above $800°\mathrm{C}$ regeneration is obtained.
