The nonlinear refractive index n_2 of SiO_2-Al_2O_3-La_2O_3 (SAL) glasses of 10 to 24
mol% La_2O_3 is determined via Z-scan technique at 800 nm in the sub-100 fs time regime …

Frequency conversion in glass optical fibers requires both phase and group velocity
matching between the pump and the higher harmonic when working with short pulses. We …

A design of technologically feasible hole-assisted silica fibers with all-normal dispersion was
proposed and optimized for maximum dispersion located, respectively, at 1.55 and 1.97 …

Fabrication, spectroscopic properties, and laser performance of a Yb: SiO_2 multicomponent
glass have been investigated in this paper. The glass system composed of SiO_2, Al_2O_3 …

Supercontinuum generation in a multicore fiber in which several uncoupled cores were
doped with dissimilar concentrations of germanium was studied experimentally. Germanium …

Development of high numerical aperture fiber bundles (FBs) requires use of thermally
matched pair of glasses with a high difference of refractive indices. We have developed a …
