Use of nanoparticles for preparation of rare‐earth doped silica fibers

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: A new approach to preparation of rare‐earth and aluminium doped silica fibers is presented in this paper. Common Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD) technique and solution‐doping method were employed while nanoparticle dispersions were used instead of solutions for erbium and aluminium co‐doping. Prepared preforms were analyzed by refraction index profiler, EPMA and confocal microscopy. Attenuation refractive index profile and emission of erbium fluorescence were measured in fibers prepared from preforms. Resulting fibers show better homogeneity of dopants concentration distributions and significant increase in erbium emission at 1550 nm. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
