Mcm. Delucas et al., SPECTROSCOPY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RARE-EARTH-DOPED PZG AND ZBLB FLUORIDE GLASS PLANAR WAVE-GUIDES, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 321-323
Neodymium-doped PZG fluoride glass planar waveguides and new ZBLA chan
nel waveguides have been elaborated and their properties studied. Life
time measurements of the emitting F-4(3/2) level were recorded and com
pared with results obtained for the bulk materials.
