The signal-gain characteristics of tellurite-based erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are clarified based on spectroscopic properties and signal-gain measurements. The potential of tellurite-based erbium-doped fiber for use as a broadband light source is also described.
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.
