HOW IR OPTICAL CAN SAVE YOU TIME, STRESS, AND MONEY.

To get a better understanding of the HPCVD deposition and doping approach, we performed synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping experiments to quantitatively map the distribution of changeover metal dopants in HPCVD produced Fe2+:ZnSe optical fibers. Micro-XRF is a handy strategy as a result of its substantial sensitivity and sub-micron
