TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the various arguments and models which have been proposed in this context over the last decade and identified the major open questions, and concluded that the optical bandwidth which is provided by Bi-doped glasses and crystals cannot be achieved by any rare earth (RE) based amplifier, or by the combination of multiple rare-earth (RE)-doped devices.

TL;DR: The external quantum efficiency of Tb3+-doped phosphate glass fibers has been reported to be 78% as mentioned in this paper, which is the highest up to date compared with other Tb 3+doped materials reported in previous literatures.

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectrometry (Raman) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the composition and morphology of electrospun nanofibers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ZnS-PbO as a precursor of PbS quantum dots (QDs) and obtained tunable infrared luminescence from 1100 to 2200 nm.

TL;DR: The emissions from Pr(3+)-doped boro-phosphate, broom-germo-silicate and tellurite glasses show different decay behaviors and can be well explained by multiphonon relaxation theory.
