Glass and optical fibers doped with nanoparticles for Photonics

Glass, in its most general sense, is a non-crystalline solid with a glass transition [AF 3 601] . The non-crystalline aspect refers to the long-scale disordered appearance of the glassy lattice. For example, in the case of silica glass (SiO ₂ ), the lattice is made up of SiO ₄ tetrahedra linked together by oxygen atoms (with the silicon atom at the center of the tetrahedron),...
