AN UNBIASED VIEW OF IR OPTICAL

To achieve a better knowledge of the HPCVD deposition and doping method, we carried out synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping experiments to quantitatively map the distribution of transition metal dopants in HPCVD created Fe2+:ZnSe optical fibers. Micro-XRF is a valuable system as a consequence of its substantial sensitivity and sub-mi
