چکیده
The spectral dependence of photoinduced optical losses after chi((2)) writing have been obtained in Sm- and Er-doped fibers. The results show that Sm(2+) and Er(2+) can be a source of photoelectrons during fiber preparation.

Photoinduced second-harmonic generation in fibers doped with rare-earth ions.
Photoinduced second-harmonic generation in silica fibers doped with Er(3+), Sm(3+), and Tb(3+) has been investigated. Er(3+)-doped fibers have been found to tune a chi((2)) grating easily to the mode structure of the laser radiation, whereas Sm(3+)-doped fibers have been found to possess the greatest resistance to chi((2)) grating erasure by radiation at 532 nm. From the beginning of the prepar...
متن کاملEfficient photoinduced second-harmonic generation in Ce-doped lead germanate glasses.
Efficient photoinduced second-harmonic generation in Ce-doped bulk lead germanate glasses is observed. A linear increase of photoinduced second-order nonlinearity with Ce concentration is obtained. The reported glasses can be encoded for frequency doubling with extremely low (as little as 30 W of peak power at 1.064 microm) preparation intensities.
متن کاملGalerkin Finite-Element Method for the Analysis of the Second Harmonic Generation in Wagon Wheel Fibers
The nonlinear effects of the second harmonic generation have been investigated for the propagation of light along the axis of fibers of wagon wheel cross sectional shape. Nodal finite element formulation is utilized to obtain discretized Helmholtz equations under appropriate boundary conditions. The hierarchical p-version nodal elements are used for meshing the cross section of wagon wheel fibe...
متن کاملDefect production in silica fibers doped with Tm3+.
Defects in undoped germanosilicate fibers have a profound effect on optical properties in the visible region of the spectrum. Photoexcitation of these defects can produce a refractive-index change, which in turn can be used for many useful purposes, including the formation of gratings and second-harmonic generation in fibers. The defects responsible for this behavior have been associated with t...
متن کاملMeasurement of photodarkening in Yb-doped aluminosilicate fibers at elevated temperature
Photodarkening behavior in Yb-doped aluminosilicate fibers at elevated temperatures is reported. The fiber was core-pumped at 977 nm and the transmitted powers were monitored at 633 (probe) and 977 nm (pump) simultaneously with ~47% of population inversion of Yb ions. A saturated photodarkening loss was found, which is inversely proportional to temperature and, at ~573 K, the loss was negligibl...
