Abstract
In this work, we report results of lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs) luminescence spectra evolution during the QDs spread process around the core of silica micro-structured (MS) fibers. These QDs are excited, via evanescent field effect, with a 532nm or 785nm laser guided by the MS-fiber cores. The PbS-core QDs of different sizes (originally immersed in Toluene) with emission bands around 877 nm (PbS877), 1160 nm (PbS1160) and 1474 nm (PbS1474) were inserted inside the silica MS-fiber structure by using an N2 gas pressure system. The broadband luminescence spectra varying from around 1000 nm to 1600 nm were obtained by using QDs mixtures impregnated around MS-fiber core surfaces. This QDs spread technique and the PbS QDs broadband luminescence spectra results could have potential applications in optical amplifier,sensor and nonlinear optical fiber loop mirror devices.
