Femtosecond laser-induced reduction in Eu-doped sodium borate glasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we report permanent reduction of Eu to Eu in sodium borate glasses by irradiation of near-infrared femtosecond laser. Glass composition of sodium borate was 85B2O3–15Na2O. The glasses were doped with 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5mol% Eu2O3. Absorption and fluorescence dynamics were studied to investigate valence state change of europium ions and the energy transfer between Eu and Eu ions. As the femtosecond laser intensity or exposure time increases, the emission band at 400nm becomes stronger. However, the photoreduction efficiency decreases as the dopant concentration increases. We discuss the photoreduction mechanism under multiphoton absorption. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

There is still significant speculation regarding the nature of femtosecond laser induced index change in bulk glasses with colour centre formation and densification the main candidates. In the work presented here, we fabricated waveguide Bragg gratings in doped and undoped phosphate glasses and use these as a diagnostic for monitoring subtle changes in the induced refractive index during photo-...

We developed new optic devices - singly-doped luminescence glasses and nanoparticle-coated lenses that convert UV light to visible light - for improvement of visual system functions. Tb(3+) or Eu(3+) singly-doped borate glasses or CdS-quantum dot (CdS-QD) coated lenses efficiently convert UV light to 542 nm or 613 nm wavelength narrow-band green or red light, or wide-spectrum white light, and t...
