Journal ArticleDOI
Monopod, bipod, tripod, and tetrapod gold nanocrystals
TL;DR: Multipod gold nanocrystals have been synthesized via a simple solution-phase chemical reduction method at room temperature and two types of structurally different particles are observed, including the regular tripod that lies on the substrate with its {111} plane, and the cross-like tetrapod that sits on its {100} plane.

TL;DR: Initial experimental details and properties of a silicon core, silica glass-clad optical fiber fabricated using conventional optical fiber draw methods showed the core to be highly crystalline silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of fibers with high rare-earth concentrations for Faraday isolator applications
John Ballato,Elias Snitzer +1 more
TL;DR: The novel powder-intube method, or a single-draw rod-in-tube method, was used to make silica-clad optical fibers with a high terbium oxide content aluminosilicate core, which could lead to all-fiber isolators of dramatically lower cost and ease of fabrication compared with their crystalline competitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical characterization of infrared emitting rare-earth-doped fluoride nanocrystals and their transparent nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, Nanocrystalline LaF3:Nd and CaF2:Er with rare-earth concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 16.7 mol % and dispersible particle sizes less than 100 nm were synthesized by solvothermal synthesis.
