In this paper, a brief summary of different methods of fabrication of optical preform and fiber is reviewed. Several methods of incorporation of erbium ions into optical preforms are studied. Characterization of the fabricated erbium doped fibers including measurements of refractive index profile, absorption, fluorescence and gain spectra and metastable lifetime are described. It is also expres...

The study of amino acid based nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with optimum physical properties is an important area due to their practical applications such as optical communication, optical computing, optical information processing, optical disk data storage, laser fusion reactions, laser remote sensing, colour display, medical diagnostics, etc. Also, microelectronic industries require cryst...

nanocrystalline particles of cerium oxide (ceo2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using cerium nitrate and urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. the results revealed that the formation of ceo2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. well faceted ceo2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a...

pure and zno-doped ni0.1co0.9fe2o4 catalyst were prepared by co-precipitation method and thermal decomposition in air calcinated at 400-700°c and that treated with different amounts of zinc nitrate (0.46-2.25 w% zno). x-ray powder diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and bet analysis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms investigated the crystalline bulk structure and the surface area ...

in this work, we report, optical properties of cd1-xsnxte quantum dots (x= 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) synthesized in water using thioglycolic acid (tga) as a modifier agent. the optical characterization of the samples was performed through absorption (uv) and photoluminescence spectra (pl). a red shift absorption and fluorescent emission peaks was observed which can be related to the increase of nano...

Tin oxide (SnO2)nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and the synthesized nanoparticles were annealed at different temperatures for characterization. The powders were investigated with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and optical spectroscopy. The structural characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction which confirms the crystalline nature ...

A connected edge-colored graph G is rainbow-connected if any two distinct vertices of G are connected by a path whose edges have pairwise distinct colors; the rainbow connection number rc(G) of G is the minimum number of colors such that G is rainbow-connected. We consider families F of connected graphs for which there is a constant kF such that, for every connected F-free graph G, rc(G) ≤ diam...

In this paper, a numerical study of barrier characterization effects on the high-temperature internal performance of an InGaAsP multi-quantum well laser is presented. The softwareused for this purpose self-consistently combines the three-dimensional simulation of carrier transports, self-heating, and optical waveguiding. The laser model calculates all relevant physical mechanisms, including the...
