Effect of core glass composition on the optical properties of active fibers

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We optimized the composition of core glass for active fibers. Using solution doping, we obtained aluminogermanosilicate core fibers containing up to 0.6 mol % Yb2O3 with optical losses within 10 dB/km.
