Nonlinear lightwave circuits in chalcogenide glasses fabricated by ultrafast laser.
This Letter reports a nonlinear directional waveguide coupler written by ultrafast laser in gallium lanthanum sulfide chalcogenide glass. The nonlinear waveguide device is tested with laser pulses input in two orthogonal polarizations, and all optical switching at 1040 nm between the two coupled waveguides is observed at a peak fluence of 16 GW/cm2. The spectra and autocorrelation measurement f...
متن کاملChalcogenide Glass Optical Waveguides for Infrared Biosensing
Due to the remarkable properties of chalcogenide (Chg) glasses, Chg optical waveguides should play a significant role in the development of optical biosensors. This paper describes the fabrication and properties of chalcogenide fibres and planar waveguides. Using optical fibre transparent in the mid-infrared spectral range we have developed a biosensor that can collect information on whole meta...
متن کاملFluoride Glasses and Planar Optical Waveguides
Fluoride glasses are of great interest for optical applications, as low phonon energy hosts for rare-earth ions. With an increasing need for more compact optical devices that impose higher dopant concentration, research activity has been focused on the fabrication of fluoride glass planar waveguides to produce integrated lasers and optical amplifiers, especially those based on Er3þ-doped glasse...
متن کاملMicro-Optical Lenslets by Photo-Expansion in Chalcogenide Glasses
A detailed study of the wavelength dependence of the formation of lenslets by photo-expansion in chalcogenide glasses is reported. Photo-expansion in chalcogenide glasses offers a one-step fabrication process to record surface structures such as gratings and microlenses. The process is purely optical and requires no fixing and etching to get the desired surface structure. Two competing effects,...
