“…BaF 2 was included for the purpose of reducing the OHd content, and the introduction of Y 2 O 3 was for better thermal stability in fiber drawing process as well as providing a higher glass transition temperature raised by the high melting temperature of Y 2 O 3 . In 2016, Wang et al achieved SC generation extending from 0.47 μm to 2.77 μm (zero-dispersion wavelength at 1730 nm) using a tapered TeO 2 -BaF 2 -Y 2 O 3 (TBY)-based microstructured fiber whose core was surrounded by six air holes [81].…”

This chapter provides expert coverage of the physical properties of new noncrystalline solids-tellurite glass and the latest laser applications of the material-offering insights into innovative applications for laser and sensing devices, among others. In particular, there is a focus on specialty optical fibers, supercontinuum generation and laser devices, and luminescence properties for laser applications. This chapter also addresses the fabrication and optical properties and uses of tellurite glasses in optical fibers and optical microcavities, the significance of from near infrared (NIR) to mid-infrared (MIR) emissions and the development of tellurite glass-based microcavity lasers. The important attributes of these tellurite glasses and their applications in lasers were discussed in this chapter.

“…Furthermore, other structural parameters of tapered fibers, such as taper waist diameter and transition region length can affect the SC results. Some researchers have demonstrated that wider SC generation can be achieved in a tapered fiber with a smaller diameter [150][151][152]. A small fiber diameter produces a small A eff in ChG tapered fibers, which increases the laser power intensity at the taper waist.…”

A Review of Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum Generation in Chalcogenide Glass Fibers

et al. 2018

Chalcogenide glasses have the advantages of a wide transparency window (over 20 µm) and high optical nonlinearity (up to a thousand times greater than that of silica glasses), making them good candidates for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. In this review, we describe both the history and recent developments in mid-infrared supercontinuum generation from chalcogenide fibers according to three kinds of fiber structures: step-index, microstructured and tapered fibers. We also review the coherence properties of mid-infrared supercontinuum generation and all-fiber supercontinuum sources based on chalcogenide fibers.

“…Also, the flexibility and mechanical strength of MNFs have been able to offer great advantage to demonstrate various microstructures as sensing head, such as loop, coil, and optical coupler [29][30][31]. In addition, thanks to the strong field confinement and tunable dispersion, MNFs have been applied to nonlinear optics [32][33][34][35][36]. Furthermore, MNFs have been used as quantum light sources based on spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) process, that are suitable for directly connecting to other fiber-based system with negligible coupling loss [37][38][39][40][41].…”

Optical Wave Guiding and Spectral Properties of Micro/Nanofibers Used for Quantum Sensing and Quantum Light Generation

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Subwavelength optical micro/nanofibers have been widely used as basic building blocks in the field of quantum sensing and quantum light source by virtue of their properties which include pronounced evanescent field, large surface area, and small optical mode area. This paper presents theoretical studies on the propagation properties of the guided optical wave and the spectral properties of entangled photons from spontaneous four-wave mixing in micro/nanofibers. We first analyze numerically single-mode propagation, field distribution, fraction of power, and group-velocity-dispersions by solving Maxwell’s equations with boundary conditions in cylindrical coordinates. Then, optical wave guiding properties of micro/nanofibers are applied to estimate the spectral properties such as central wavelengths and bandwidths of the created photons via spontaneous four-wave mixing that can be tailored by controlling diameter and length of micro/nanofibers. This theoretical work provides useful guidelines to design micro/nanofiber-based quantum sensing and quantum light sources for quantum technologies.
