The photoluminescence properties of rare-earth (lanthanide) compounds have been
fascinating researchers for decades. 1-14 An attractive feature of luminescent lanthanide …

Erbium‐doped fiber devices have been extraordinarily successful due to their broad optical
gain around 1.5–1.6 µm. Er‐doped fiber amplifiers enable efficient, stable amplification of …

Femtosecond laser pulses have been extensively employed to achieve 3D micro‐and
nanofabrication in various materials for a broad variety of applications. LiNbO3 crystal is a …

Transfer of energy occurs endlessly in our universe by means of radiation. Compared to
energy transfer (ET) in free space, in solid state materials the transfer of energy occurs in a …

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 …

In this paper, highly (up to 5.25 mol% Er 2 O 3) Er-doped phosphate bulk glasses were
synthesized by conventional melt-quenching method and their physical, thermal and …

In the past few decades, several methods concerning optical thin films have been
established to facilitate the development of integrated optics. This paper provides a brief …

The spectroscopic properties of Al2O3 waveguides ion implanted with Er3+ and Yb3+ are
investigated in view of their application in optical amplifiers operating at 1530 nm …

Direct‐write optical waveguide device fabrication is probably the most widely studied
application of femtosecond laser micromachining in transparent dielectrics at the present …

Er 3+-doped lead phosphate glasses (PKAPbNEr) were prepared by a melt quenching
technique and their spectroscopic properties were investigated for 1.54 μm fiber amplifier …
