Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR
spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific …

The mid-infrared (MIR) represents a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is
progressively being exploited for an enormous number of applications. Thermal imaging …

The progress, and current challenges, in fabricating rare-earth-doped chalcogenide-glass
fibers for developing mid-infrared (IR) fiber lasers are reviewed. For the first time a coherent …

Glass ceramics (GCs), which consist essentially of a homogeneous solid state dispersion of
nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a chemically inert and mechanically robust glass matrix …

Abstract The Dy 3+ doped Ga 5 Ge 20 Sb 10 S 65 bulk glass provides good emission
efficiency in the middle infrared with a better brightness than the blackbody sources. Sulfide …

This article deals with sulfur and selenium-based glasses doped with rare earth ions. It
reviews the most significant glass compositions and their related thermal and mechanical …

Numerous investigations have been done in pursuing phosphors with quantum yield (QY)
greater than unity in terms of downconversion (DC) strategies, as well as applications in …

We present a study of chalcogenide glass fiber lasers doped with Dy^ 3+, Pr^ 3+ or Tb^ 3+
that would operate in the mid-infrared wavelength range. A set of chalcogenide glass …

Abstract Er 3+/Yb 3+ co-doped large-mode-area double-cladding fibers based on Bi 2 O 3-
GeO 2-Ga 2 O 3–Na 2 O–CeO 2 glass material were fabricated using a rod-in-tube method …

New nanostructured gallogermanate‐based glass materials exhibiting high transparency in
the visible and infrared regions are fabricated by conventional melt‐quenching. These …
