Tapered-EDF-Based Mach–Zehnder Interferometer for Dual-Wavelength Fiber Laser
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2014 An all-fiber comb filter using a tapered-erbium-doped fiber in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure is presented. The free spectral range, extinction ratio, bandwidth, and interference pattern of the comb filter can be shaped by controlling the taper ...

Photoluminescence and attenuation of spray-pyrolysis-deposited erbium-doped Y2O3 planar optical waveguides [PDF]
, 1992 Erbium-doped Y20 3 planar optical waveguides have been fabricated by spray-pyrolysis deposition. The attenuation spectrum of the waveguide shows peaks that are due to absorption of the erbium ions.

Shear Wave Elastography to Assess Respiratory Muscle Function in Congenital Myopathies
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Respiratory muscle dysfunction is prevalent in congenital myopathies and often leads to respiratory failure. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures tissue elasticity and has been proposed as an alternative to invasive measures of respiratory muscle contractility.

Spectroscopic Signatures of Doping in Thin Films of Semiconducting Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Small, EarlyView.This review presents an overview of the spectroscopic changes of semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes upon chemical, electrochemical or electrostatic doping. The presence of holes or electrons directly affects visible to far‐infrared absorption, near‐infrared fluorescence and electroluminescence as well as Raman spectra, which enables in‐situ ...

Root surface biomodification in periodontal therapy: Biological rationale and clinical applications
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to form new cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, all sealed by gingival tissue. The root surface acts as the wound margin during this regeneration process. Root surface biomodification (root conditioning/root decontamination), therefore, seems instrumental in promoting surface decontamination

APPLICATION OF JUDD-OFELT THEORY UPON CHLOFLUOROPHOSPHATE GLASS DOPED WITH ERBIUM
Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2015 A series of erbium doped glasses chlorofluorophosphates were prepared and characterized. The absorption spectra were analyzed to determine the Judd-Ofelt parameters. The optical performance of these doped glasses suggesting the relevance of these glasses

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Intrinsically stable light source at telecom wavelengths
, 2013 We present a highly stable light source at telecom wavelengths, based on a short erbium doped fiber. The high stability arises from the high inversion of the Er3+ion population.
