In this paper, we report anti-resonant silica hollow-core fibers (AR-HCFs) for solarization-
free ultraviolet (UV) pulse transmission. The new fibers reported have lower attenuation than …

We report large-mode-area solid-core photonic crystal fibers made from fused silica that
resist ultraviolet (UV) solarization even at relatively high optical powers. Using a process of …

We report a picosecond fiber MOPA pumped supercontinuum source with 39 W output,
spanning at least 0.4-2.25 µm at a repetition rate of 114.8 MHz. The 2m long PCF had a …

Transmission of UV light with high beam quality and pointing stability is desirable for many
experiments in atomic, molecular and optical physics. In particular, laser cooling and …

We report on an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF) designed for stable transmission
of laser light in a broad wavelength range of 250 nm to 450 nm. We tested for wavelengths …

We report an irradiation sensor based on a fluorescent “flying particle” that is optically
trapped and propelled inside the core of a water-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber …

We fabricate uniform silica microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) having very simple
geometry with only three rings of air holes in order to generate efficient supercontinuum …

We propose to design a ytterbium doped two large MFA fiber for high peak power fiber laser
and beam delivery application. These fiber has large MFA of 2492 µm 2 when kept straight …

Multimode silica step-index optical fibers are examined for use in planar laser-induced
fluorescence (PLIF) for combustion diagnostics using ultraviolet (UV) laser sources. The …

Within the scope of this thesis, precision isotope shift measurements using a new
spectroscopy technique were performed. The method is based on quantum logic …
