Annealing of UV Ar+ and ArF excimer laser fabricated Bragg gratings: SMF-28e fiber

Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis

Fiber Bragg gratings fabricated in pristine SMF-28e fibers using pulsed ArF-excimer and cw 244-nm Ar+ laser were annealed using tempering rates from 0.0038 to 0.25 K/s. Demarcation energy mapping allowed for the determination of the frequency factors and t ...

M-Plane GaN/InAlN Multiple Quantum Wells in Core-Shell Wire Structure for UV Emission

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Georg Rossbach

We report on the epitaxial growth of high-quality core-shell nonpolar m-plane GaN/InAlN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on the sidewall facets of c-oriented hexagonal GaN wires. Pseudomorphic growth without generation of threading dislocations has been estab ...

Dose dependence of luminescence increase in H2-loaded Bi-Al co-doped optical fibers by cw 244-nm and pulsed 193-nm laser irradiation

Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis

The near infrared luminescence is increased in H2-loaded Bi-Al co-doped optical fibers by irradiation of cw 244-nm or pulsed 193-nm laser light. The dose dependence is different for the two lasers. ...

Photosensitivity and Luminescence Induced by ArF-Irradiation of Hydrogen Loaded Bi-SiO2 Fiber

Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis

Bi:SiO2 fiber drawn under oxidizing conditions shows ultra-low photosensitivity and no NIR luminescence under 1064 nm pumping. Hydrogen loading followed by ArF irradiation induced both. The increase of photosensitivity and the creation of luminescence cent ...
