Developing of new rare-earth (RE)-doped optical fibres for power amplifiers and lasers requires continuous improvements in the fibre spectroscopic properties (like shape and width of the gain curve, optical quantum efficiency, resistance to spectral hole burning and photodarkening...). Silica glass as a host material for fibres has proved to be...

Rare earth (RE) doped silica-based optical fibers with transparent glass ceramic (TGC) core was fabricated through the well-known modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process without going through the commonly used stage of post-ceramming. The main characteristics of the RE-doped oxyde nanoparticles, their density and mean diameter in the...

Optical fibres are mostly based on silica glass for its interesting properties (reliability, low cost, ...). However, some of its characteristics (high phonon energy, low solubility of luminescent ions, ...) induce drawbacks in spectroscopic properties of rare-earth (RE)-doped fibre lasers and amplifiers. Here we investigate the growing of...

Les fibres optiques céramiques permettent de combiner les propriétés mécaniques d'un matériau amorphe et les propriétés spectroscopiques d'un environnement qui peut être cristallin ou amorphe. Dans cette communication, nous présentons une méthode de nanostructuration de fibres optiques à base de silice où l'introduction de magnésium dans la...

Le développement de nouvelles fibres optiques amplificatrices nécessite de s'affranchir des limitations spectroscopiques imposées par la silice. Pour cela, nous avons choisi d'encapsuler les ions luminescents dans des nano-particules d'oxyde. Elles sont obtenues par séparation de phase déclenchée par des cycles thermiques nécessaires a la...

DNP are observed in fibres when alkaline-earth elements (Mg, Ca and Sr) are incorporated. Mean size of the DNP, deduced from SEM pictures, depends on the composition... This last composition leads to a low loss fibre... From EDX measurements, we have observed that alkaline-earth elements and erbium ions are located inside or very close to the...

An efficient method to fabricate transparent glass ceramic fibers containing in-situ grown Er3+-doped oxide nanoparticles is presented. Characterization of the drawn fibers exhibits low loss (0.4 dB/m) and broadened Er3+ emission spectrum. This attractive method offers new scopes for fiber amplifiers.
