Nonlinear transmission and color-center dynamics in germanosilicate fibers at 420–540 nm

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report evidence in support of the view that induced loss and nonlinear transmission in pure germanosilicate fibers at blue-green wavelengths are governed by the formation (through two-photon absorption), spontaneous and stimulated transformation, and bleaching (through single-photon events) of Ge(1), Ge(2), and Ge(3) color centers. Using a tunable pulsed-dye laser, the excitation spectrum of the induced absorption, its spectral attenuation, and the effects of Ge concentration and thermal annealing are investigated.
