γ辐照对掺Er硅酸盐玻璃吸收和发光特性的影响

用传统的高温熔融法熔制了一系列掺Er硅酸盐玻璃, 并测试了这些样品经5 kGy γ 射线辐照前后紫外至近红外的吸收和荧光光谱. 实验结果表明, 辐致暗化效应使得玻璃材料中形成了大量色心, 导致在400 nm附近出现强吸收带, 其尾端延伸至近红外区. 辐照产生的新能带增加了基质与Er³⁺ 特定能级(如²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2及⁴F_9/2等) 之间的能量传递, 从而使辐照后的样品荧光寿命减小, 且在相同激发条件下荧光强度下降. 室温下辐照样品在荧光测试过程中出现了漂白现象.

Fabrication of Microstructures in LiF Crystals by a Femtosecond Laser

We report the space-selective formation of colour centres and refractive index change in LiF crystals at room temperature by an 800nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser irradiation. Optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra have been measured for the crystal before and after the laser irradiation. The absorption spectra indicate F and F3^ colour centres are induced in LiF after the laser irradiation. When the temperature of heat treatment reaches 300℃, the absorption peak disappears, indicating that the induced colour centres are bleached. The induced refractive index change is also evaluated. A mechanism for the formation of colour centres and refractive index change is proposed.

A Novel Hollow-Core Holey Fibre with Random Hole Distributions in the Cladding

We provide a novel hollow-core holey fibre that owns a random distribution of air holes in the cladding. Our experiments demonstrate that many of the features previously attributed to photonic crystal fibres with perfect arrangement of air holes, in particular, photonic bandgap guidance, can also be obtained in the fibre. Additionally, this fibre exhibits a second guided mode with both the two-lobe patterns, and each pattern is in different colour.

The glasses are promising materials for broadband optical amplifiers and tunable lasers.

Transparent Ni^2＋-Doped MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 Glass Ceramics with Broadband Infrared Luminescence

We report on transparent Ni^2＋-doped MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics with broadband infrared luminescence. Ni^2＋-doped MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass is prepared by using the conventional method. After heat treatment at high temperature, MgAl2O4 crystallites are precipitated, and their average size is about 4.3 nm. No luminescence is detected in the as-prepared glass sample, while broadband infrared luminescence centred at around 1315 nm with full width at half maximum （FWHM） of about 300 nm is observed from the glass ceramics. The observed infrared emission could be attributed to the ^3T2g（^3F）→^3A2g（^3F） transition of octahedral Ni^2＋ ions in the MgAl2O4 crystallites of the transparent glass ceramics. The product of the fluorescence lifetime and the stimulated emission cross section is about 1.6×10^-24 s cm^2.
