In this article, for the first time, an efficient multi-wavelength fiber laser based on a Tm: Er: Yb:
Ho co-doped germanate glass, optically pumped at 980 nm wavelength and simultaneously …

A compact amplifier based on chalcogenide Pr^ 3+-doped micro-disk coupled to two ridge
waveguides is designed and refined by means of a home-made computer code. The gain …

Electromagnetic tracking systems (EMTSs) are widely used in surgical navigation, allowing
to improve the outcome of diagnosis and surgical interventions in terms of shorter …

The model of rare-earth-doped optical devices based on the rate equations and the power
propagation equations can be employed for both the feasibility investigation of innovative …

The project proposed in this paper deals with the design and the development of an
embedded test system able to characterize both electrical and mechanical performances of …

Microspheres made of glass, polymer, or crystal material have been largely used in many
application areas, extending from paints to lubricants, to cosmetics, biomedicine, optics and …

A comprehensive model for designing robust all-in-fiber microresonator-based optical
sensing setups is illustrated. The investigated all-in-fiber setups allow light to selectively …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a microwave photonic (MWP) notch filter
based on a silica microsphere cavity. By using a high-Q-factor (∼ 1e7) cavity with a …
