Since the invention and further development of lasers in the 1960s, photonics has grown
into a field that permeates virtually every aspect of modern life. As photonics deals with the …

Although chemists, biochemists, biologists, and material scientists are often interested in
using nonlinear optical techniques for characterizing their samples, they seldom have the …

We present experimental results on supercontinuum generation in a highly birefringent
microstructured fiber. We show that such a fiber offers clear advantages for continuum …

The objective to induce reproducible, efficient, and stable second‐order nonlinear optical
properties (SONL) in an isotropic material remains a challenge in photonics. Thermal poling …

1.1 Overview Silica glass is technologically very important, especially in
telecommunications, because of its excellent properties such as strength and the ability to …

Abstract Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride glass (LiPON) is the most used electrolyte for lithium
solid-state microbatteries. The current main challenge is improving its ionic conductivity …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) has been obtained in a rich in sodium niobium
borophosphate glass by a thermal poling treatment. The thermally poled glass SHG signal …

Sodium− niobium borophosphate glasses have been thermally poled and studied in the mid-
and far-infrared range to probe their possible structural rearrangements and to correlate …

Numerous innovations in photonics have been realized on the basis of nonlinear optical
properties, notably in information technologies. To take advantage of the nonlinear optical …

Structure, linear and nonlinear optical properties of glasses in the ternary system (90–x)
GeO2–10Na2O–x Ta2O5 have been investigated. These glasses exhibit a wide …
