“…Approaches to increase the efficiency include, use of solid immersion lenses (Hadden et al, 2010;Siyushev et al, 2010;Sage et al, 2012), or employment of infrared absorption (Acosta et al, 2010;Dumeige et al, 2013;Jensen et al, 2014;Chatzidrosos et al, 2017;Dumeige et al, 2019). Photoluminescence (PL) for fiberized sensors is preferentially collected with the same fiber delivering the pump light but detected on the input side of the fiber (Patel et al, 2020). Despite considerable effort, even modern sensors typically just feature a PL-to-pump-light ratio of about 0.1% (Barry et al, 2016;Patel et al, 2020).…”
