Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation (2011)
Journal Article
Suzuki, T., Kawai, H., Nasu, H., Hughes, M., Ohishi, Y., Mizuno, S., …Hasegawa, K. (2011). Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation. Optical Materials, 33(12), 1952-1957. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2011.03.045

The internal quantum efficiencies under sunlight and laser excitation were measured directly by an integrating sphere method for tellurite, borosilicate and fluoride glasses. The radiative quantum efficiency was also obtained by Judd–Ofelt analysis.... Read More about Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation.

Spectroscopic properties of Er doped and Er, Nd codoped fluoride glasses under simulated sunlight illumination (2011)
Journal Article
under simulated sunlight illumination. Optical Materials, 33(12), 1958-1963. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2011.03.041

We investigated the fluorescence characteristics of Er codoped Nd doped ZBLAN glasses proposed for solar pumped fiber laser (SPFL) under simulated sunlight. Er is used as a sensitizer because it absorbs a part of the ultraviolet and visible light whe...

Determination of the oxidation state and coordination of a vanadium doped chalcogenide glass (2011)
Journal Article
Hughes, M., Curry, R., & Hewak, D. (2011). Determination of the oxidation state and coordination of a vanadium doped chalcogenide glass. Optical Materials, 33, 315-322. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2010.09.007

Vanadium doped chalcogenide glass has potential as an active gain medium, particularly at telecommunications wavelengths. This dopant has three spin allowed absorption transitions at 1100, 737 and 578 nm, and a spin forbidden absorption transition...
