Microfiber evanescent-field photothermal gas detection using acoustic-induced mode-dependent frequency shift

Nanophotonics, 2023
In this study, we experimentally showcase the microfiber evanescent-field photothermal gas detection by exploiting all-fiber MHz-level frequency shift scheme. Based on the acousto-optic interaction effect, the low-frequency shifts of 0.9 MHz and 1.83 MHz

Enhanced Gain Characteristics of PbS-Doped Silica Fiber in O-Band by Co-Doping Er Ions

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
We report a novel PbS/Er co-doped silica fiber (PEDF) with improved spectral properties in O-band (1260–1360 nm). The results show that the gain of the PEDF exceeds 15 dB in the range of 1150–1360 nm.
