Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glass is one of the oldest man-made materials and has played an irreplaceable role in the progress of human civilization and the development of science and technology for more than 4000 years. On the other hand, optical fiber, as one of the most important inventions of the 20th century, has a profound impact on human scientific research, production and life. With the development of technological means and the expansion of application fields, the rapid development of advanced optical systems, instruments, manufacturing equipment, national defense weapons, aerospace vehicles, etc., urgently requires new-type glasses and optical fibers with various functions for use in optical transmission, amplification, conversion, isolation, switch, sensing, etc. The working wavebands also cover from ultraviolet to visible and infrared wavelengths. At the same time, the above requirements also continuously promote the innovation of functional glass and optical fiber manufacturing technology. This Special Issue covers these topics and focuses on the preparation and spectral characteristics of functional glasses and optical fibers.
