Optical amplification in 1430-1495 nm range and laser action in Bi-doped fibers

Opt Express. 2008 Oct 13;16(21):16971-6. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.016971.

Abstract

An emission band with a maximum at 1430 nm and a FWHM of 100 nm was observed in a Bi-doped fiber under core-pumping in the 1340- 1370 nm wavelength range. Net gain in 1430-1490 nm and laser action in 1443-1459 nm wavelength range in the Bi-doped aluminosilicate fiber have been demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge.
