The mid-infrared (MIR) represents a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is
progressively being exploited for an enormous number of applications. Thermal imaging …

This paper examines the nuclear shielding characteristics for two different lead-zinc-tellurite
glass systems with the composition of TeO 2–Bi 2 O 3–ZnO–PbO and TeO 2–Na 2 O–ZnO …

We report the results of a systematic study of the thermal and optical properties of a new
family of tellurite glasses, TeO2–ZnO–BaO (TZBa), as a function of the barium oxide mole …

We investigated the suitability of three ternary tellurite glass families for use as optical fibre
materials. Systematically varied compositions were produced and the scalability of the glass …

By optimizing glass composition and using a multistage dehydration process, a ternary
80TeO_2-10ZnO-10Na_2O glass is obtained that shows excellent transparency in the …

New tellurite glasses with composition (in mol%): 60TeO 2–(30-x) ZnO–5Bi 2 O 3–5TiO 2-xB
2 O 3 (where x= 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0) were fabricated using conventional melt quenching …

We demonstrate broadband supercontinuum generation over two infrared octaves,
spanning from 1.3 to 5.3 μm, with an output power of 150 mW in robust step-index tellurite …

Mid-infrared sources are a key enabling technology for various applications such as remote
chemical sensing, defense communications and countermeasures, and bio-photonic …

This research investigates the influence of bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3) on the structural,
thermal, and optical properties of thulium (Tm 3+) ion-doped borotellurite glasses, aiming to …

Broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation requires host material attributes defined by
both optical and physical properties and the material's manufacturability. We review and …
