Predictive, Miniature Co-Extrusion of Multilayered Glass Fiber-Optic Preforms (2015)
Journal Article
Bhowmick, K., Furniss, D., Morvan, H. P., Seddon, A. B., & Benson, T. M. (2016). Predictive, Miniature Co-Extrusion of Multilayered Glass Fiber-Optic Preforms. Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 99(1), 106-114. https://doi.org/10.1111/jace.13937

A miniature co-extrusion technique, to produce a concentric multilayered glass fiber-optic preform of ~3 mm diameter, is modeled and experimentally demonstrated. A three-dimensional, incompressible, noncavitating, and nonisothermal Computational Flui... Read More about Predictive, Miniature Co-Extrusion of Multilayered Glass Fiber-Optic Preforms.

Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmed, I., Shahruddin, S., Sharmin, N., Furniss, D., & Rudd, C. D. (2015). Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium. Biomedical Glasses, 1(1), https://doi.org/10.1515/bglass-2015-0004

Phosphate glasses are novel amorphous biomaterials due to their fully resorbable characteristics, with controllable degradation profiles. In this study, phosphate glasses containing titanium and/or iron were identified to exhibit sufficiently matched... Read More about Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium.

Low loss Ge-As-Se chalcogenide glass fiber, fabricated using extruded preform, for midinfrared photonics (2015)
Journal Article

Chalcogenide glass fibers have attractive properties (e.g. wide transparent window, high optical non-linearity) and numerous potential applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) region. Low optical loss is desired and important in the development of thes... Read More about Low loss Ge-As-Se chalcogenide glass fiber, fabricated using extruded preform, for midinfrared photonics.

Mid-infrared photoluminescence in small-core fiber of praseodymium-ion doped selenide-based chalcogenide glass (2015)
Journal Article
Tang, Z., Furniss, D., Fay, M., Sakr, H., Sójka, L., Neate, N., …Seddon, A. B. (2015). Mid-infrared photoluminescence in small-core fiber of praseodymium-ion doped selenide-based chalcogenide glass. Optical Materials Express, 5(4), 870-886. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.5.000870

© 2015 Optical Society of America. Rare earth (RE)-ion doped chalcogenide glasses are attractive for mid-infrared (MIR) fiber lasers for operation >4 μm. Our prior modeling suggests that praseodymium (Pr) is a suitable RE-ion dopant for realizing a s...
