Abstract
Nanoparticle-doped optical fibers have experienced significant advancements in recent years, driven by their numerous applications. Nanoparticles (NPs) enable the isolation of luminescent ions from the silica matrix allowing precise engineering of luminescence properties. Additionally, light scattering induced by nanoparticles can also be exploited to develop sensors. The effectiveness of these applications relies on the ability to control the nanoparticle characteristics within the fiber. This study highlights the use of pre-synthesized zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanocrystals as dopant with a particular focus on their characterization at every stage of the manufacturing process. The findings highlight the survival of ZrO2 nanocrystals throughout the entire process, from the preform to the as-drawn fiber, demonstrating the robustness and potential of this approach.
期刊介绍：
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
