Bismuth is one of the most thoroughly investigated main group elements, which has been
regarded as 'the wonder metal'because of its diverse oxidation states and profound …

Researchers are within a factor of 2 or so from realizing the maximum practical transmission
capacity of conventional single-mode fibre transmission technology. It is therefore timely to …

The current state of the art in infrared Bi-doped fiber laser research is reviewed. The relevant
fiber glass compositions and fiber technologies are introduced. Lasers operating on …

The recent results on the new laser material–Bi-doped glasses and optical fibers are
reviewed. First, luminescence properties of various Bi-doped glasses are discussed. At last …

The effects of temperature, pump power and excitation wavelength on near-infrared
photoluminescence from Bi-doped multi-component germanate glasses are presented …

Continuous-wave lasing of Bi-doped fiber lasers in a wavelength range of 1150-1215 nm
with a power of up to 15 W has been obtained for the first time. The unsaturable optical …

Control of the optical behavior of active materials through manipulation of their
microstructure has led to the development of high-performance photonic devices with …

We report emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass which is flattened, has a full
width at half maximum (FWHM) of 600 nm, peaks at 1300 nm and covers the entire …

Bi^ 2+-doped MBPO_5 (M= Ba^ 2+, Sr^ 2+, Ca^ 2+), synthesized in air via solid state
reaction, are considered as novel orange and red phosphors for white light emitting diodes …

Samples of bismuth borate glasses were prepared by the melt-quenching method, following
the molar ratio formula [(58.4–2 x) mol% B 2 O 3+(18.8+ x) mol% ZnO+(18.8+ x) mol% CaO+ …
