GETTING MY INFRARED OPTICAL TO WORK

To achieve an improved understanding of the HPCVD deposition and doping method, we performed synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping experiments to quantitatively map the distribution of changeover metallic dopants in HPCVD produced Fe2+:ZnSe optical fibers. Micro-XRF can be a valuable approach due to its significant sensitivity and sub-
