Nonlinear Optics in Doped Silica Glass Integrated Waveguide Structures (2008, background): “3 of γ, such as free-standing silica glass nanowires (γ > 600 W -1 km -1 ) [14,15], it has not been clear whether or not silica glass is capable of forming a platform for nonlinear alloptical PICs, since nonlinear optics in silica glass integrated waveguides has so far been restricted to very high p”
Optical microfibers and nanofibers (2012, methodology): “Based on the taper-drawing process mentioned above, in recent years, a number of improvements on this technique have been reported for fabricating MNFs with various parameters including ultra-small diameters [10], reduced propagation losses [15, 75], optimized tapering profiles and controllable cros”
