      Determination of Erbium Distribution in Optical Fibers Using Confocal Optical Microscopy 

      Uttamchandani, D.; Othonos, Andreas S.; Hubert, M. (1994)
      Confocal fluorescence microscopy has been used to detect the 565 nm wavelength fluorescence generated from Er+3 ions present in erbium doped optical fibers, thereby enabling the concentration profile of these ions in the ...

      Fiber laser sensor array 

      Alavie, A. Tino; Karr, Shawn E.; Othonos, Andreas S.; Measures, Raymond M. (Publ by Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 1993)
      An intracore Bragg grating and a broadband reflector are used as cavity end mirrors of a tunable Erbium-doped fiber laser where the Bragg grating serves the dual purpose of the tuning element and the sensor. This fiber ...
