We optimized the composition of core glass for active fibers. Using solution doping, we obtained aluminogermanosilicate core fibers containing up to 0.6 mol % Yb 2 O 3 with optical losses within 10 dB/km.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
