Abstract We reported on the active channel waveguides, formed in novel types of silicate glasses, doped with rare-earth elements, and Zn were investigated. The silicate glass GZ4 with Er 3+ and Yb 3+ content was studied, and the best doping ratio was estimated about luminescent properties. The composition of the glass samples (GZ4) with the content of 0.25 at. % Er 3+ and 5.0 at. % Yb 3+ and Zn 4.0 at. % resp. 5.6 at. % Zn was optimized. This glass was evaluated as the most suitable material for integrated amplifiers in the telecommunication band of 1 530 – 1 565 nm. Other samples were prepared with an active channel waveguides and active planar optical power splitter Y with a splitting ratio of 1x2 by two-step ion-exchange Na + -Ag + . Diffusion profiles of the created samples were analyzed by the EMA microscope and compared with the near mode-field distribution measurement results. Afterward, the amplification properties of the designed structures were studied, and the differential gain from 1.2 to 1.6 dB (0.48 to 0.64 dB/cm) was achieved by pumping 200 mW at 980 nm.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the influence of thermal pads on electric, optical, and thermal parameters of power LEDs. Measurements of parameters, such as thermal resistance, optical efficiency, and optical power, were performed for selected types of power LEDs operating with a thermal pad and without it at different values of the diode forward current and temperature of the cold plate. First, the measurement set-up used in the paper is described in detail. Then, the measurement results obtained for both considered manners of power LED assembly are compared. Some characteristics that illustrate the influence of forward current and temperature of the cold plate on electric, thermal, and optical properties of the tested devices are presented and discussed. It is shown that the use of the thermal pad makes it possible to achieve more advantageous values of operating parameters of the considered semiconductor devices at lower values of their junction temperature, which guarantees an increase in their lifetime.

Macrobending often occurs in optical fibers that embedded in the ground due to shifting of soil or rocks in the ground causing interference in transmission. In this study used single-mode-multimode-singlemode fiber optic cable connected manually and axially measured using a light source test equipment and optical power meter and the results will be compared. The measurement results obtained the greater  value of macrobending losses with the smaller the diameter of the winding, and the greater the number of turns. The highest value of macrobending losses in multimode cables is -1.48dB at 0.5cm diameter with 5 turns, highest value of macrobending losses on single mode cables is -12.73dB at 0.5cm diameter with 5 turns,  lowest value of macrobending losses for multimode cables is -0.44dB at 5cm diameter with 1 twist, lowest macrobending losses in singlemode cables is -1.69dB at 5cm diameter with 1 twist. While the value of macrobending losses on axially connected SMS cables shows the highest value of macrobending losses on multimode cables is -1.12dB in diameter of 0.5cm with 5 turns,  highest value of macrobending losses on singlemode cables is -1.18dB at diameter of 0.5cm with 5 turns,  lowest value for macrobending losses on multimode cables is -0.66dB at 5cm in diameter with 1 twist, the smallest value for macrobending losses on singlemode cables is -0.27dB at 5cm diameter with 1 twist . The measurement results also showed that the macrobending losses of manually connected SMS cables were greater than the macrobending losses of axially connected SMS cables.

We synthesized nano-sized Eu-doped Y2O3 (Y2O3:Eu) phosphor powder by an ion-exchange po-lymer/water/oil (W/O) emulsion method using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the ion-exchange polymer, in which the CMC-(Y, Eu) gel formed was calcined at 800°C in air to convert into Y2O3:Eu particles. The obtained phosphor powder consists of unagglomerated particles with sizes in the range of 30-80 nm and exhibits strong red emission at 612 nm. This CMC/W/O method for producing nano-sized oxide powder has significant advantages over conventional solid-phase and chemical solution-based methods because this method can provide unagglomerated nanoparticles of oxide phosphor without employing any mechanical pulverizing process for reducing the particles’ size into the nanometer range; mechanical grinding, such as ball milling, of phosphor powders has been well known to cause a significant degradation of their luminescent properties.

Abstract We report realization of scales for optical power of lasers and spectral responsivity of laser power detectors based on a predictable quantum efficient detector (PQED) over the spectral range of 400 nm–800 nm. The PQED is characterized and used to measure optical power of a laser that is further used in calibration of the responsivities of a working standard trap detector at four distinct laser lines, with an expanded uncertainty of about 0.05%. We present a comparison of responsivities calibrated against the PQED at Aalto and the cryogenic radiometer at RISE, Sweden. The measurement results support the concept that the PQED can be used as a primary standard of optical power.

Abstract This paper represents a development of a new advanced technology to fabricate and characterize micro-collimators with hemi-ellipsoidal microlenses at single-mode fibers outputs. The proposed method utilizes the controlled mechanical micromachining technique based on the variation of the speed of the fiber around its axis in both X and Y directions followed by the injection of a quantity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form the hemi-ellipsoidal microlenses. The experimental results show that this technique allows to obtain a wide variety of ellipticity diameters ratios from 0.68 to 0.84. An elliptical ratio of radii of curvature Ry/Rx in a range of 0.51 at 0.86 is also obtained. In this investigation a mode field diameters MFD in an interval between 3.26 µm and 9.93 µm have been realized. The measurement results demonstrate that the proposed technology allows to fabricate hemi-ellipsoidal microlenses having an MFD ellipticity ratios of about 0.60 to 0.97 in near field promising for micro-collimator suitable to match an elliptical laser beam to the circular one of a fiber.

This paper introduces the hardware design of digital optical power meters and the algorithm flow.The power meter detector, with InGaAs-PIN photodiode and LTC6078,is used as a preamplifier for the measurement of micro-current;Silicon Laps C8051f410 are selected as the micro-controller for AD quantification and data processing, and the linear fitting of the measured data and standard data is completed in Matlab environment.After the comparison between the two measurement results,the proposed optical power meter adopts certain algorithm to compensate the deviation and improve the overall performance.The analyses of measured data show that:the optical power meter can be designed to precisely measure multi-wavelength with wide dynamic range and high sensitivity,support AC and DC dual power supply,and be portable.Therefore It also can be used both by university laboratories for teaching and by government department for construction monitoring and optical communications maintenance.
