Popis: In this communication we report the study of novel optical fibers doped by semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). Different approaches have been investigated to realize liquid-core fibers filled with PbSe QDs and hollow-core fibers with deposition of layers of these nanoparticles. The optical characterization demonstrates good levels of QD emission which can be tunable over a wide range of IR wavelengths. Finally, for the first time, we propose also the fabrication of PbS QDs solid-core fibers by melt and draw technique. These promising results could give birth to a new family of amplifiers and laser photonic devices.
