Fluorescence Properties of Ce-Doped Fiber and Glass

Crystals and fibers doped with Ce<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> are highly valued for their wide-ranging fluorescent emission, which covers both visible and near-infrared wavelengths [1], [2]. Among these, their broad fluorescence spectrum makes them suitable for potential use in lighting technologies [3]. Additionally, Ce<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup>-doped silica fibers hold particular importance in non-invasive biomedical techniques like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) [4]. This work focuses on examining the fluorescence behaviour of a Ce<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup>-doped silica fiber and glass when pumped with 405 nm.
