Description
Summary:The first observation of optical properties of new rare-earth-doped vitreous fluoride waveguides has been recently reported. These vitreous fluoride films have been deposited by a physical vapour deposition technique on fluoride substrates. Several PZG films and sandwiches deposited on various substrates have been prepared with thickness of a few μm and doped in the guiding layer by various amounts of erbium and other rare-earth ions. High δn/n (10−2) has been achieved as a result of the glass compositions. Infrared as well as green and blue upconversion pumped fluorescences have been recorded under side light injection.
