Nano-Micro-Particle and Rare Earth Doped Glasses for Mid-Infrared Fiber Lasers and Microlasers

Abstract

This project is closely linked to the Fulbright Scholarship awarded to Prof Ravi Jain (co-PI of this project) at the University of New Mexico to undertake research in the PI Prof Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriems group in the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide in Nov 2019 - May 2020. The joint objective of this project and the Fulbright Scholarship project is to collaboratively develop advanced glass materials at IPAS(at the University of Adelaide) for novel fiber laser and microlaser applications. The specific aim of this AOARD project (# FA2386-20-1-4001) is the fast-track evaluation of the survival of luminescent ZnSe microcrystals incorporated into soft MIR transparent glasses to develop novel class of hybrid materials composed of transition-metal doped semiconductor crystals embedded in glass for broad-band mid-infrared fiber laser and microlaser systems.
