Rare earth-doped glass microbarcodes.
The development of ultraminiaturized identification tags has applications in fields ranging from advanced biotechnology to security. This paper describes micrometer-sized glass barcodes containing a pattern of different fluorescent materials that are easily identified by using a UV lamp and an optical microscope. A model DNA hybridization assay using these "microbarcodes" is described. Rare ear...
متن کاملRare-Earth Doped Optical Fibers
An optical fiber becomes active by doping its core with one or more atomic elements, usually (but not restricted to) rare-earths (RE’s), more specifically, the lanthanides that occupy the atomic numbers 57 to 71 of the periodic table. As it will be mentioned later in more detail, they use three electrons in bonding to the condensed materials such as crystals and glasses to become triply ionized...
متن کاملFocused Ion Beam Milled On-chip Resonator Nanostructures for Applications in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Al2O3 Active Waveguides
Reflection gratings on Al2O3 channel waveguides were defined by focused ion beam milling. Fabry-Perot microcavities were fabricated and improved performance upon annealing was demonstrated, making them viable candidates as resonators for on-chip waveguide lasers.
متن کاملRare-earth-ion doped KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides grown by liquid-phase epitaxy
Rare-earth-ion doped KY(WO4)2 (hereafter KYW) is a promising material for novel solid-state lasers. Low laser thresholds, high efficiencies, high output powers, and third-order nonlinear effects have stimulated research towards miniaturized thin-film waveguide lasers and amplifiers for future photonic devices. Active films can be fabricated by liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE), pulsed laser deposition...
متن کاملSensing Using Rare-Earth-Doped Upconversion Nanoparticles
Optical sensing plays an important role in theranostics due to its capability to detect hint biochemical entities or molecular targets as well as to precisely monitor specific fundamental psychological processes. Rare-earth (RE) doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising for these endeavors due to their unique frequency converting capability; they emit efficient and sharp visible or...
