The field of hybrid optical fibers is one of the most active research areas in current fiber
optics and has the vision of integrating sophisticated materials inside fibers, which are not …

Photoluminescence originated from doped activators in the solid state materials usually
faces the challenge of concentration quenching, restricting the further increase of …

We report on the magneto-optical (MO) properties of heavily Tb3+-doped GeO2-B2O3-
Al2O3-Ga2O3 glasses towards fiber-integrated paramagnetic MO devices. For a Tb3+ ion …

Compared with crystal and transparent ceramics, magneto-optical glass is an attractive
choice for applications in communication and larger power laser systems. However, the …

We report on near-infrared (NIR) down-conversion by energy transfer between Mn2+ and
Yb3+ in crystalline Zn1. 96− xGeO4+ 1/2x: Mn0. 04Ybx. In the Zn2GeO4 lattice, intrinsic …

Highly modified borate glasses with the composition (1− 2x) MnO–x (SrO–B 2 O 3)(x= 0.46,
0.42, 0.36, 0.25, and 0.20) were prepared and investigated by Raman, infrared (IR), and …

In modern phosphor materials, in contrast to single‐band emission, simultaneous
photoluminescence through two or more emission bands enables broad and tailorable …

For specific techniques of bioimaging or photodynamic tumor therapy, it is highly desirable
to find a luminescent material with emission wavelengths within the region of transparency …

Ionic sulfophosphate liquids of the type ZnO-Na 2 O-Na 2 SO 4-P 2 O 5 exhibit surprising
glass forming ability, even at slow or moderate cooling rate. As a concept, they also provide …

Magneto-optical glass is a category of optical materials. In this study, a series of Tb 3+
doped Ga 2 O 3–B 2 O 3–SiO 2–GeO 2 (GBSG) glasses were prepared and studied …
