Ion implanted optical waveguides in nonlinear optical organic crystal.

We report for the first time to our knowledge optical waveguiding in an organic crystalline waveguide produced by ion implantation. Using H+ ions a refractive index barrier suitable for waveguiding has been realized in the highly nonlinear optical organic crystal 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST). The refractive index changes in the waveguiding region as a function ...

Polymer-Optical-Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers Doped with Organic Dyes

Polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with organic dyes can be used to make efficient lasers and amplifiers due to the high gains achievable in short distances. This paper analyzes the peculiarities of light amplification in POFs through some experimental data and a computational model capable of carrying out both power and spectral analyses. We investigate the emission spectral shifts and widths...
