0.2%–3% weight of Dy 3+ ions doped 64GeS 2 ·16Ga 2 S 3 ·20CdI 2 glasses were synthesized, and their spectroscopic properties were investigated. It was shown that the host glass could dissolve as much as 3% Dy 3+ ions without deteriorating the glass transparency. The mid-infrared (MIR) emissions of the glasses did not present remarkable concentration quenching when the Dy 3+ ions concentration was less than 0.6%. It was also shown that the MIR emission properties could be significantly improved by reducing S H/O H impurities in the glasses. The spectral analyses indicated that the 2.9 and 4.3 μm emissions of Dy 3+ ions in the glass showed relatively large stimulated emission cross sections. The glass doped with as high as 0.4% Dy 3+ ions was successfully drawn into fibers, indicating good potential of the doped glass for MIR lasers.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials currently attract significant interest and hold paramount importance in the optoelectronic field. Nevertheless, the fabrication of NLO crystals capable of transmitting ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we synthesized two novel NLO crystals, namely Cs3REGe3O9 (RE = Y, Gd), by employing a structural gene strategy that harmoniously merges flexible [YO6] and [GdO6] octahedra with rigid [GeO4] motifs. Remarkably, Cs3REGe3O9 (RE = Y, Gd) crystals exhibit substantial band gaps of 4.92 and 5.3 eV, respectively, while achieving the shortest reported ultraviolet cutoff edges at 210 and 215 nm among the boron-free germanate-based NLO materials. Importantly, these compounds also feature a remarkably broad infrared transparency range exceeding 6.8 μm. Furthermore, both compounds demonstrate a moderate second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response, comparable to that observed in KDP. Additionally, first-principles calculations unveil that the synergistic effect of the [REO6] octahedra and [GeO4] tetrahedra plays a pivotal role in governing the optical properties of Cs3REGe3O9 (RE = Y, Gd). These explored findings offer a novel avenue for leveraging the highly desired NLO materials in the region spanning from ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths.

For developing an ideal efficient and low-threshold medium for fiber lasers operated at 4 μm wavebands, 0.05 wt.% to 0.5 wt.% Dy3+ ions doped Ga0.8As39.2S60 chalcogenide glasses were investigated and a 4.2 μm fiber laser was theoretically studied based on the rate and propagation equations. It was shown that the Ga0.8As39.2S60 glass shows a desirable large Dy3+ ion solubility, which has been increased by an order of magnitude compared to As2S3 glass. Dy-rich nanocrystallines were found when the Dy3+ ions’ concentration is more than 0.3wt.% (i.e. 3000 ppmw), and the concentration quenching was found based on spectral analysis; however, no rapid decreases in lifetimes were observed. 0.3wt.% Dy3+ doped Ga0.8As39.2S60 glass possesses relatively large laser quality factor σemi × τmea = 1.70 × 10−23 cm2·s and excellent thermal stability (ΔT = 182°C), which can be successfully drawn into fibers indicating good potential for mid-infrared fiber laser.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with narrow band gaps (∼0.3 eV) are of great importance for realizing ambipolar transistors and mid-infrared (MIR) detections. However, most of the 2D materials studied to date have band gaps that are too large. A few of the materials with suitable band gaps are not stable under ambient conditions. In this study, the layered Nb2SiTe4 is shown to be a stable 2D material with a band gap of 0.39 eV. Field-effect transistors based on few-layer Nb2SiTe4 show ambipolar transport with a similar magnitude of electron and hole current and a high charge-carrier mobility of ∼100 cm2 V–1 s–1 at room temperature. Optoelectronic measurements of the devices show clear response to an MIR wavelength of 3.1 μm with a high responsivity of ∼0.66 AW–1. These results establish Nb2SiTe4 as a good candidate for ambipolar devices and MIR detection.

The suitably large modulation depth of the saturable absorber (SA) is crucial to obtaining short pulse lasers via passive Q-switching or mode-locking techniques. Graphene could theoretically be used as a mid-infrared (mid-IR) SA due to its zero band-gap. However, the low modulation depth of graphene in the mid-IR region limits its applications. In this work, to improve the mid-IR modulation depth of graphene, a strategy of functionalizing graphene with narrow-band gap semiconductors was adopted. Graphene/PbSe (G/PbSe) composite was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process and the reflective G/PbSe SA was prepared by spin-coating method. The saturation absorption properties were investigated by the open aperture Z-scan technique. The results indicated that the saturation absorption properties of G/PbSe SA were largely enhanced, and the modulation depth was increased from 3.02 % to 5.4 % at ∼ 2.8 μm and from 2.5 % to 6.4 % at ∼ 4 μm compared with pure graphene. Moreover, with the as-prepared reflective G/PbSe SA, passively Q-switched Er:YAP laser operation at ∼ 2.8 µm was realized. At the pump power of 6.78 W, the pulse train with pulse width of 326 ns and repetition rate of 107 kHz was obtained, and the average output power was 498 mW. This study presents a way for preparing graphene-based mid-IR SAs for short pulse mid-IR lasers.

Chalcogenide glass (ChG) with unique material properties has been widely used in mid-infrared. Traditional ChG microspheres/nanospheres preparation usually uses a high-temperature melting method, in which it is difficult to accurately control the size and the morphology of the nanospheres. Here, we produce nanoscale-uniform (200-500 nm), morphology-tunable, and arrangement-orderly ChG nanospheres from the inverse-opal photonic crystal (IOPC) template by the liquid-phase template (LPT) method. Moreover, we refer to the formation mechanism of nanosphere morphology as the evaporation-driven self-assembly of colloidal dispersion nanodroplets within the immobilized template and find that the concentration of ChG solution and the pore size of IOPC are the key to control the morphology of the nanospheres. The LPT method is also applied to the two-dimensional microstructure/nanostructure. This work provides an efficient and low-cost strategy for the preparation of multisize ChG nanospheres with tunable morphology and is expected to find various applications in mid-infrared, optoelectronic devices.

Pulsed lasers operating in the mid-infrared are of great importance for numerous applications in spectroscopy, medical surgery, laser processing, and communications. In spite of recent advances with mid-infrared gain platforms, the lack of a capable pulse generation mechanism hinders the development of compact mid-infrared pulsed laser source. Here we show that MIL-68(Al) and MIL-68(Fe), which are aluminum- and iron- based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with ordered atoms distribution and periodic mesoporous structure, constitute exceptional optical switches for the mid-infrared. We fabricated the MIL-68(Al) and MIL-68(Fe) via hydrothermal method and prepared reflection-type MIL-68(Al)- and MIL-68(Fe)- saturable absorber mirrors (SAMs). By employing the as-prepared SAMs in the laser cavities, we achieved high-power nanosecond Q-switched fiber lasers at 2.8 µm. Especially, the average output power and pulse duration of the MIL-68(Al) Q-switched fiber laser reached 809.1 mW and 567 ns, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to demonstrate that MIL-68(M) can be efficient optical switches for 3-µm mid-IR laser pulses generation. Our findings reveal that MIL-68(M) is promising saturable absorber for compact and high-performance mid-infrared pulsed lasers.

2 μm mid-infrared (MIR) light sources have shown great potential for broad applications in molecular spectroscopy, eye-safe lasers, biomedical systems and so on. However, previous research studies were mainly focused on conventional materials such as glasses, glass-ceramics and crystals, limiting the luminescence intensity and miniaturization of photonic devices. Here we report a new strategy to realize the multiple excitation wavelength responsive MIR emission in a single nanoparticle by employing an erbium sublattice as the sensitizing host. Intense 2 μm emission of Ho3+ from its 5I7 → 5I8 optical transition was observed under 808, 980 and 1530 nm excitations. The possible energy transfer mechanism between Er3+ and Ho3+ ions was discussed. We also designed a core–shell–shell nanostructure by inserting an NaYF4:Yb interlayer to maximize the absorption of 980 nm photons and enhance the 2 μm emission. The MIR luminescence under 808 nm excitation can be further improved by introducing Nd3+ into the outermost shell and attaching indocyanine green dyes. These results present an efficient way for the development of MIR luminescent nanomaterials with great potential in the fields of MIR gain devices, nanosized MIR light sources, and nanophotonics.

The mid-infrared focal plane array (FPA) imager has developed over recent decades to become multifunctional, powerful, reliable, miniaturized, and cost-effective. However, the complexity of the refrigerated packaging process (such as dewar flask) and traditional fabrication technology (such as flip-chip) continues to contribute significantly to the high cost of industrial production. Here, a simple, low-cost, and effective type of uncooled mid-infrared FPA imager is reported through the monolithic integration of mid-infrared Pb 1-x Sn x Se nanocrystals (NCs) PIN heterojunction (PbS/Pb 1-x Sn x Se/ZnO) photodetectors and glass-based readout integrated circuits (ROICs). Sn-doping in PbSe NCs not only weakens the internal photocarrier-phonon coupling to reduce thermal noise but also optimizes the energy band structure of the heterojunction to enhance mid-infrared performance. Finally, the PbS/Pb 0.86 Sn 0.14 Se/ZnO heterojunction photodetector demonstrates a dark current (2.7 x 10 −7 A mm −2 at −0.5 V), a detectivity of 7.46 × 10 9 Jones at a peak wavelength of 4.25 µm, air stability (retaining 96.7% performance at 300 K for 360 days) and the corresponding uncooled mid-infrared FPA (64 × 64 pixels) achieves excellent thermal sensitivity of 133 mK. These results underscore the substantial potential applications of mid-infrared FPA based on the heterojunction, including spectral imaging, gas leak detection, and chemical reagent identification.

The performance of anaerobic digestion is significantly governed by the concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Though the titration and near-infrared spectroscopy have been used to measure the VFAs in the digester , there is still lack of the establishment of on-line monitoring of VFAs in practical application. An effective quantification method based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy was developed, and used to measure the concentrations of VFAs in the anaerobic bioreactor nondestructively in parallel. The wavelet denoising (WD) spectra were used as the spectral preprocessing option. Compared with other pretreatment methods, the established calibration model built by WD spectra showed satisfactory results. Further, the model was verified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and predictions were made using real reactor effluent samples. Based on this theoretical work, a set of equipment for the in-situ online monitoring of VFAs was designed, which has high feasibility and effectively solves the problems with the current VFAs online monitoring process. These results provide a new solution for on-line monitoring of the anaerobic digestion, and have great potential for practical application.

A new type of device with adjustable reflective capabilities in the mid-IR is elaborated from the combination of Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), gold-coated non-porous polyimide substrate and gel electrolyte. Prior to device characterization, the influence of polymer thickness and gold substrate types on reflectance modulation of PEDOT-Au films is scrutinized to obtain the film with optimum quality. A combination of SEM images and reflectance curves confirms that adopting thin PEDOT/PSS on the non-porous substrate can achieve large amplitude reflectance regulation. Further, a mechanical perforating method is developed to address the issue that ions cannot transport between the polymer film and the counter electrode when this PEDOT/non-porous film assembled into device. An in-depth study shows that by varying the punching side, porosity and aperture, a device with front holes of porosity 12.77% affords the highest reflectance contrast of 0.566 over the wavelength range of 3-5 μm, meanwhile exhibits effective temperature changes of approximately 16 °C. These results inspire interesting perspectives regarding the fabrication of PEDOT-based devices with controllable IR electroreflective performance.

Rare earth doped mid-infrared (MIR) fluorescent sources have been widely investigated due to their various potential applications in the fields of communication, chemical detecting, medical surgery and so forth. However, with emission wavelength extended to MIR, multiphonon relaxation process that strongly quenched the MIR emission is one of the greatest challenges for such practical applications. In our design, we have described a controllable gas-aided annealing strategy to modulate the phase, crystal size, morphology and fluorescent performance of a material simultaneously. Uniform and monodispersed Er 3+ -doped La 2 O 2 S and La 2 O 2 SO 4 nanocrystals with a similar lattice structure, crystallinity, diameter and morphology have been introduced to investigate the impact of multiphonon relaxation on luminescence performance. Detailed spectroscopic evolutions in the region of MIR, near-infrared (NIR), visible upconversion (UC) and their corresponding decay times provide insight investigation into the fluorescent mechanism caused by multiphonon relaxation. A possible energy transfer model has also been established. Our results present direct observation and mechanistic investigation of fluorescent evolution in multiphonon relaxation process, which is conductive to design MIR fluorescent materials in the future. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first investigation on MIR fluorescent performance of La 2 O 2 S nanocrystals, which may find various applications in many photoelectronic fields.
