Abstract Multiple order self-diffractions by femtosecond laser-induced transient grating in CeO2 doped 75TeO2-25Nb2O5-5ZnO glass are investigated by pump-probe technique. The glass structure and component are investigated by Raman and visible--NIR absorption spectra. It is showed that there exists Ce3+ ion in tellurite glass, and the transient grating is created by the optical Kerr effects and improved by the excited particle grating from the resonant absorption of the 1S0 to 1F3 electronic energy transition of Ce3+ ion, and the conversion efficiency of the first order diffraction signal reaches about 11%. The results indicate that CeO2 doped 75TeO2-25Nb2O5-5ZnO glass has potential applications in ultra-fast all-optical switching.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
