Description
Summary:In this paper, fabrication and characterization of a Gallium co-doped Erbium fiber is presented, highlighting Gallium as a new potential co-dopant to be used in rare-earth doped fibers. This fiber was fabricated using standard MCVD and solution doping method. Fiber characterization setups for fluorescence lifetime, absorption and ASE spectrum are discussed in detail. We go on to show that fluorescence lifetime of 6.02 ms, NA of 0.12, cutoff wavelength of 1.4 μm and a peak absorption of 45 dB/m at 1550 nm is achievable using Gallium as the co-dopant for an Erbium doped fiber.
