Abstract:As demands for bandwidth continue to increase, telecommunication networks would greatly benefit from the development of broader-band amplifiers. The currently erbium doped fiber amplifiers are limited to amplification of approximately 100 nm bandwidth window. One method to increase the bandwidth of the fiber amplifier would be to incorporate multiple rare earths (REs) into a single fiber which exhibit emissions from ~1000-1800 nm. Unfortunately, energy transfer between rare earth ions typically results in quen… Show more
