Single crystals of YVO with different doping concentrations of Yb (1.5, 3.0, 8.0, and 15.0 at. %) and with good crystalline quality (FWHM ∼43-55 arc sec of rocking curve) were grown by the optical floating zone technique. Refractive index measurements were carried out at four wavelengths as a function of temperature. The measurements show that as the doping concentration of Yb is increased, the refractive index varies marginally for n whereas there is a significant change in the value of n. The thermo-optic coefficient (dn/dT) was found to be positive with a value ∼10/°C, which is 1 order higher than that for the undoped YVO crystal. The thermo-optic coefficient is higher for n compared to that of n. Also, a set of relations describing the wavelength dependence of the thermo-optic coefficient were established that are useful for calculating the thermo-optic coefficient at any temperature in the range 30°C-150°C and at any wavelength in the range 532-1551 nm.

Thermal and stretching characteristics are crucial variables in healthcare, robotics, and human-machine interaction applications. Here, we present a single-mode fiber-based, balloon-shaped, single- and dual polymer-layered optical wearable (PLOW) system that can sense both temperature and stretching. These two types of PLOWs are compared in terms of their detection performance across all criteria.

In this paper, a temperature sensor based on a polymer-silica heterogeneous integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure is proposed. The MZI structure consists of a polymer waveguide arm and a doped silica waveguide arm. Due to the opposite thermal optical coefficients of polymers and silica, the hybrid integrated MZI structure enhances the temperature sensing characteristics.

All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites possess excellent thermal stability, a feature that renders them highly favorable for optoelectronic applications with an elevated thermal budget. Employing a coevaporation approach for their deposition holds promise for manufacturing at an industrial level, owing to improvements in device scalability and reproducibility. For unlocking the full potential of vacuum-evaporated perovskite thin films, it is crucial to delve deeper into their crystallization process, which, as a solid-state reaction, has been less investigated compared to the crystallization process of, most commonly used, solution-based methods.
