    Er3+-activated silica inverse opals synthesized by the solgel method

    We present the details of the sol-gel processing used to realize inverse silica opal, where the silica was activated with 0.3 mol% of Er3+ ions. The template (direct opal) was obtained assembling polystyrene sphe...

    Diagnostic techniques for photonic materials based on Raman and Brillouin spectroscopies

    The elastic and vibrational properties of a material, bulk or planar waveguide, are studied by Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy to follow the process of nanocrystals growth in glass-ceramics. The nanoparticles...

    Effect of Yb3+ concentration on Er3+ luminescence properties of sol-gelderived silica-alumina xerogels

    Er3+ / Yb3+ co-doped silica-alumina monolithic xerogels were prepared with the same concentration on 2 000 Er/Si ppm and 6 000 Al/Si ppm. The Yb/Si content was varied from 0 to 4 000 ppm Densification of the samp...
