High purity Ge-Sb-Se/S step index optical fibers (2019)
Journal Article

Chalcogenide glasses are a promising group of materials for remote sensing applications. Two compositions from the Ge-Sb-Se/S system are investigated as core and cladding glasses in a step index fiber (SIF). Following thermomechanical and refractive...

Experimental observation of gain in a resonantly pumped Pr3+-doped chalcogenide glass mid-infrared fibre amplifier notwithstanding the signal excited-state absorption (2019)
Journal Article

We demonstrate a maximum gain of 4.6 dB at a signal wavelength of 5.28 μm in a 4.1 μm resonantly pumped Pr3+- doped selenide-based chalcogenide glass fibre amplifier of length 109 mm, as well as a new signal excited-stated absorption (ESA) at signal...

Determining the continuous thermo-optic coefficients of chalcogenide glass thin films in the MIR region using FTIR transmission spectra (2019)
Journal Article

A new method (FTIR continuous dn / dT method, n is refractive index and T temperature) for measuring the continuous thermo-optic coefficients of thin transparent films in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral region is introduced. The technique is based on... Read More about Determining the continuous thermo-optic coefficients of chalcogenide glass thin films in the MIR region using FTIR transmission spectra.

(INVITED) Methods for determining the refractive indices and thermo-optic coefficients of chalcogenide glasses at MIR wavelengths (2019)
Journal Article

Chalcogenide glasses have attracted much attention for the realization of photonic components owing to their outstanding optical properties in the mid-infrared (MIR) region. However, relatively few refractive index dispersion data are presently avail...

Mid-IR supercontinuum generation in birefringent, low loss, ultra-high numerical aperture Ge-As-Se-Te chalcogenide step-index fiber (2019)
Journal Article

This work reports on the fabrication and subsequent supercontinuum generation in a Ge-As-Se-Te/Ge-As-Se core/clad chalcogenide step-index fiber with an elliptical-core and an ultra-high numerical aperture of 1.88 ± 0.02 from 2.5 - 15 µm wavelength. T... Read More about Mid-IR supercontinuum generation in birefringent, low loss, ultra-high numerical aperture Ge-As-Se-Te chalcogenide step-index fiber.

Determining small refractive index contrast in chalcogenide-glass pairs at mid-infrared wavelengths (2019)
Journal Article

A two-composition thin film (Ge20Sb10Se70/Ge20Sb10Se67S3 atomic%core/cladding glasses) was fabricated using a hot-fibre-pressing technique in which both glasses follow the same post-fibre processing. A simple approach is proposed that uses normal inc... Read More about Determining small refractive index contrast in chalcogenide-glass pairs at mid-infrared wavelengths.
