GETTING MY INFRARED OPTICAL TO WORK

To gain an improved idea of the HPCVD deposition and doping process, we performed synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping experiments to quantitatively map the distribution of transition steel dopants in HPCVD produced Fe2+:ZnSe optical fibers. Micro-XRF is actually a helpful procedure as a consequence of its substantial sensitivity and
