Nonlinear transmission and colour-centre dynamics in germanosilicate fibres at 420-540 nm
Nonlinear transmission and colour-centre dynamics in germanosilicate fibres at 420-540 nm
We report evidence in support of the view that induced loss and non-linear transmission in pure germanosilicate fibers at blue/green wavelengths are governed by the formation (via two-photon absorption), spontaneous and stimulated transformation and bleaching (via single-photon events) of Ge(1), Ge(2) and Ge(3) colour-centres. Using a tunable pulsed dye laser, the excitation spectrum of the induced absorption, its spectral attenuation and the effects of germania concentration and thermal annealing are investigated.

Abstract
We report evidence in support of the view that induced loss and non-linear transmission in pure germanosilicate fibers at blue/green wavelengths are governed by the formation (via two-photon absorption), spontaneous and stimulated transformation and bleaching (via single-photon events) of Ge(1), Ge(2) and Ge(3) colour-centres. Using a tunable pulsed dye laser, the excitation spectrum of the induced absorption, its spectral attenuation and the effects of germania concentration and thermal annealing are investigated.
