AN UNBIASED VIEW OF IR OPTICAL

To gain an improved idea of the HPCVD deposition and doping procedure, we carried out synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping experiments to quantitatively map the distribution of changeover metal dopants in HPCVD produced Fe2+:ZnSe optical fibers. Micro-XRF is actually a beneficial system on account of its substantial sensitivity and su
