A novel approach for controlling and flattening the radial distribution of the erbium ions within an aluminium enriched silica core glass as part of the modified chemical vapour deposition and solution doping techniques is presented.

A new route was recently proposed to modify some spectroscopic properties of rare-earth ions in silica-based fibers. We had shown the incorporation of erbium ions in amorphous dielectric nanoparticles, grown in fiber preforms. Here we present the achieved stabilization of nanometric erbium-doped dielectric nanoparticles within the core of...
