In this review paper some recent advances on optical sensors based on photonic crystal
fibres are reported. The different strategies successfully applied in order to obtain feasible …

We proposed a new concept of increasing the plasticity of chalcogenide glasses while
maintaining a high glass transition temperature. The main idea of this concept lies in the …

1000 ppmw Sm^ 3+-doped Ge_19. 4Sb_9. 7Se_67. 9Ga_3 atomic% chalcogenide bulk
glass and unstructured fiber are prepared. Near-and mid-infrared absorption spectra of the …

Chalcogenide glasses have attracted much attention for the realization of photonic
components owing to their outstanding optical properties in the mid-infrared (MIR) region …

The crystallization behavior of the (GeSe 2) x (Sb 2 Se 3) 1-x system for x= 0.6–0.9 was
studied indirectly by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under non-isothermal …

Abstract Four groups of Ge-Sb-Se chalcogenide glasses with compositions of Ge x Sb 10 Se
90-x (10≤ x≤ 32.5), Ge x Sb 15 Se 85-x (5≤ x≤ 27.5), Ge x Sb 20 Se 80-x (5≤ x≤ 25) …

ABSTRACT Thin films of Ge 30 Se 70− x Bi x (x= 5, 15, 20) were prepared by thermal
evaporation method on glass substrates with thickness 800 nm. The films were annealed at …

Abstract Ge-rich Ga-Ge-Sb-Se glasses with relatively high glass transition temperature and
low tendency to crystallization are synthesized. Glass composition effect on the optical and …

The present study deals with crystal growth in undercooled melts in the GeSe 2-rich region
of the (GeSe 2) x (Sb 2 Se 3) 1-x system. Two different crystalline phases (Sb 2 Se 3 and …

The widely applied capillary refill time (CRT) measurement is currently performed by
manually applying pressure and using a stopwatch to record the time taken for the skin to …
