Laser recrystallization and inscription of compositional microstructures in crystalline SiGe-core fibres

Laser recrystallization and inscription of compositional microstructures in crystalline SiGe-core fibres

Using SiGe in the core of optical fibres extends the wavelength range and potential optical functionality, but fabrication challenges exist. Here, Coucheronet al. report the fabrication and tailoring of SiGe-core optical fibres using CO2laser irradiation to heat the glass cladding and recrystallize...
