The precise measurement of fusing speed revealed that its behavior varies depending on the plasma volume per pump beam diameter. Irregul...

The damped oscillation of a fiber fuse light emission does not overlap the scattering pattern of the following periodic voids. This may ...

Low loss (less than 1 dB) passive optical fuses were realized by inserting 50-um-thick TeO2 glass layer into a single-mode silica glass f...

Light-induced breakdown of low-melting glass with thickness of 50 um is demonstrated, which was coated with carbon paint and formed betwe...

Excessive-light-induced melt down was observed in a carbon-coated TeO2 glass segment formed between a pair of optical fiber end-faces. T...

Less than 1.5dB of insertion loss was realized in an optical coupling structure in which two TEC (Thermal-diffusion Expanded Core) fibers...

Several nano liters of tellurite glass melt was inserted and quenched between two ends of silica glass optical fibers to form a optical ...

Knowledge accumulated about fiber fuse propagation since 1988 is briefly summarized. From a macroscopic viewpoint, the dissipative solit...

Several nano liters of tellurite glass melt (xTeO2 - (100 - x)ZnO, x = 80,90,100 in mol%) were inserted and quenched between tow ends of ...
