CO 2 laser heating of silica glass is used in many scientific and industrial applications.
Particularly, localized CO 2 laser heating of silica glass has demonstrated its ability to …

There is an increasing demand for highly integrated optical and optoelectronical devices
that provide active laser emission, adaptability and low losses. A well-established …

A femtosecond laser-based scribing procedure has been investigated for cleaving silica
optical fiber. As a proof of concept, SMF 28 fiber was scribed by 1030 nm femtosecond laser …

In this study, the Tm 3+/Ho 3+ co-doped lanthanum aluminosilicate glass was prepared
using the melt-quenching method. The absorption and emission properties of glass were …

There is an increasing demand for highly integrated optical and optoelectronical devices

Multimaterial fibers engineered to integrate glasses, metals, semiconductors, and
composites found applications in ubiquitous sensing, biomedicine, and robotics. The …

We propose a new method for precisely fabricating a lensed fiber with a desired focal length
by first cleaving a coreless silica fiber using an ultrafast femtosecond laser without thermal …

D-shaped fibers have attracted widespread attention due to their special structure and
excellent performances. However, the fabrication of D-shaped fiber faces many challenges …

Traditional D-shaped optical fibers are manufactured using mechanical polishing or
chemical corrosion techniques, which inevitably introduce sub-surface defects or impurities …

This thesis describes the conception and construction of an “entanglement-enhanced”
trapped atom clock on an atom chip (TACC). The key feature of this new experiment is the …
