| Popis: | The topic of this review is a summary of the photonics research currently performed at the Material Science and Chemical Engineering Department at Politecnico di Torino, with an emphasis on novel tellurite glasses and nanocluster doped silica for photonics. The fabrication and characterization of novel tellurite glasses and their optical fibers, with the aim of obtaining laser sources operating in the near infrared, will be reviewed. Doping with Tm, Yb and Ho have been investigated and different pumping schemes are evaluated in order to optimize laser performance. Nanocluster doped glasses, which are of great interest for nonlinear applications in telecommunications as well as for different types of plasmonic sensors, will also be discussed. Specifically, the fabrication and characterization of nano-metal glass composites manufacturing by RF sputtering. |
