Description

We report the first spectral and power-law modeling of cooperative luminescence in an ytterbium-doped optical silica fibre structure enabling the creation of new saturation effects. We believe that the low-concentration transfer originates in the ytterbium-oxide molecule itself and is consequently due to the inherently oxidizing MCVD process.
