As one of most efficient techniques for material-property modification, ion implantation has
shown its unique ability for alteration of surface refractive index of a large number of optical …

The tremendous interest in the field of waveguide lasers in the past two decades is largely
attributed to the geometry of the gain medium, which provides the possibility to store optical …

The field of optically pumped planar waveguide lasers has seen a rapid development over
the last two decades driven by the requirements of a range of applications. This sustained …

Tm^ 3+ doped barium gallo-germanate (BGG) glass has emerged as a promising 2.0 μm
laser material offering excellent optical property. Unfortunately, low anti-crystallization ability …

Tm-doped alkali germanate glass is investigated for use as a laser material. Spectroscopic
investigations of bulk Tm-doped germanate glass are reported for the absorption, emission …

Glasses of composition (x‐1) PbO (100‐x) GeO21Ln2O3, with x= 30 mol%(Ln= Nd, Eu, Er),
40 mol%(Ln= Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm), and 50 mol%(Ln= Eu, Er), have been …

We demonstrate an ultra-compact and low-threshold thulium microcavity laser that is
monolithically integrated on a silicon chip. The integrated microlaser consists of an active …

In this work, GeO 2 modified with PbF 2 and B 2 O 3 glasses were synthesized by
conventional melting and quenching technique to investigate the effect of modifier network …

The optical properties of Nd 3+ ions in six different compositions of glasses based on GeO 2,
PbO, and Bi 2 O 3 have been investigated by using steady-state and time-resolved laser …

A spectroscopic analysis of sodium germanate glasses activated with Eu 3+, Tb 3+ and Eu
3+/Tb 3+ is performed from their photoluminescence spectra and decay times. In the Eu 3+ …
