Fabrication and characterization of femtosecond laser written waveguides in chalcogenide glass (2007)
Journal Article
Hughes, M., Yang, W., & Hewak, D. (2007). Fabrication and characterization of femtosecond laser written waveguides in chalcogenide glass. Applied Physics Letters, 90, 131113. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2718486

The authors describe the fabrication of buried waveguides in a highly nonlinear chalcogenide glass,
gallium lanthanum sulfide, using focused femtosecond laser pulses. Through optical characterization
of the waveguides, they have proposed a formatio... Read More about Fabrication and characterization of femtosecond laser written waveguides in chalcogenide glass.

On the analogy between photoluminescence and carrier-type reversal in Bi- and Pb-doped glasses
Journal Article
carrier-type reversal in Bi- and Pb-doped glasses. Optics express, 21(7), 8101-8115. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.21.008101

Reaction order in Bi-doped oxide glasses depends on the optical
basicity of the glass host. Red and NIR photoluminescence (PL) bands
result from Bi2+ and Bin clusters, respectively. Very similar centers are
present in Bi- and Pb-doped oxide and ch... Read More about On the analogy between photoluminescence and carrier-type reversal in Bi- and Pb-doped glasses.

Compositional dependence of the optical properties of bismuth doped lead-aluminum-germanate glass
Journal Article
Hughes, M., Suzuki, T., & Ohishi, Y. (in press). Compositional dependence of the optical properties of bismuth doped lead-aluminum-germanate glass. Optical Materials, 32(9), 1028-1034. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2010.02.025

We report the compositional dependence of absorption, emission, decay constant and quantum efficiency
(QE) of GeO2:Al2O3:PbO:Bi2O3 glass with the aim of finding the composition most suitable for a laser gain
medium. As the Bi2O3 content was varied... Read More about Compositional dependence of the optical properties of bismuth doped lead-aluminum-germanate glass.
