Photowritable Silver‐Containing Phosphate Glass Ribbon Fibers

Abstract: International audienceTailored silver-containing zinc-phosphate glasses possess excellent thermoviscous ability and optical properties. Beyond they have proven to form a favorable matrix for the direct laser writing of photoluminescent and nonlinear patterns. Here, bringing together the merits of these materials with fiber optic technology, the first photosensitive, photowritable silver-containing glass ribbon fibers are reported. These novel devices are thermally scaled-down in a homothetic fashion from a mac… Show more

“…Just like their polymer counterparts, such composites could exhibit good electrical conductivity while providing viscous domains to contain the flow. Another strategy for electrical conductivity relies on ionic conductivity via the doping of a phosphate glass with silver . A transparent glass can exhibit AC conductivity over a large range of frequencies, paving the way toward other types of fiber‐integrated electrodes.…”

“…Indeed, only largeenough Ag β silver clusters may be considered to show a sufficient redox potential increase, thermodynamically allowing for their growth in the considered glass matrix. This kind of behavior typically corresponds to silver-containing glasses as zinc phosphate (PZn:Ag [20,29]), zincsodium phosphate (PZnN:Ag [91]), or sodium-gallium phosphate (GPN:Ag [49]) glasses. In such here-abovedescribed cases, sub-micron features of several hundreds of nanometers are achievable, by keeping an excellent optical quality of the laser-irradiated voxel, without any large-scale thermally affected area [20,29].…”

“…Tailored silver-containing zinc phosphate glasses possess excellent thermo-viscous ability and optical properties. The waveguiding properties observed in the bulk of such silver-containing glass samples were further transposed to ribbon-shaped fibers made of the same material [91]. Strategy relies on the direct, homothetic drawing of rectangular silver-containing zinc phosphate glass preforms into flat-substrate, sharp corner-edge tensof-meters-long ribbon fibers ( Figure 9A).…”

“…Glasses comprising phosphate tetrahedra as network forming units have been the subject of interest for a wide range of applications such as nuclear waste encapsulation, high‐power laser materials, sealing frits, embedding phosphors for solid‐state lighting, metallization of solar cells, and bioactive glasses . Further, the capability of phosphate glasses to be loaded with noble metals and their response to forming clusters and nanoparticles has attracted attention in the field of photonics as materials displaying particular plasmonic and photoluminescent properties . The low‐melting character of phosphate glasses accompanied by a relatively low glass transition temperature, T g , is one of the most attractive features of these type of material .…”
