Rare-earth-doped optical fibres are widely used in lasers and amplifiers. The incorporation of ytterbium and aluminium oxide in a high doping concentration has led to the fabrication of a multi-mode (MM) optical fibre. Within this research, the design, preparation and calculation for the production of a fibre with a targeted 45 μm core diameter are explored. By Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, the doping concentrations of the elements in the core have been measured as 60.4 at.% Al and 1 at.% Yb. Supporting micrographs are used for confirming the core/cladding ratio. Based on the atomic percentage concentration, the calculated refractive index of the multi-element core has an n = 1.61 and an NA = 0.678. Characterisation of the fibre, including absorption and emission cross-section analysis, was performed in order to prove the ability of the fibre to be used for amplification as well as lasing applications.

“…These advantages include good quality of projected beam [2,3]; and in comparison to solidstate lasers in bulk, fiber lasers generally provide improved compactness, more stability, and efficiency [4]. Single-mode lasers and amplifiers based on rare-earth-doped fibers as a gain medium offer stable output power and excellent beam quality, making them attractive devices for applications in science, industry, and medicine [5][6][7].…”

Tunable erbium doped fiber laser based on a spherical micro-ball lens as a Fabry–Perot interference filter

The tunable wavelength emission of an erbium doped fiber laser using a Fabry–Perot interference filter based on a fiber micro-ball lens (MBL) with a spherical shape is experimentally demonstrated. The filter is formed at the tip of a single-mode fiber by controlled electric arc discharge. The filter consists of a fiber MBL with a radius of 152.7 µm and a flat-convex mirror. A tunable single laser emission range of 1556.85–1569.72 nm is obtained when the mirror moves perpendicular to the fiber. Dual-wavelength laser emission with a separation of ∼12.9 nm corresponding to the free spectral range of interference modulation is obtained within the single laser wavelength tuning limits. The laser line exhibits full width at maximum half of 0.1 nm. The stability of the laser emission is also discussed. The use of a reliable tunable spectral filter for dual-wavelength emission and single tuning is demonstrated in the fiber laser’s design. The proposed spectral filter configuration can be useful in different research areas, such as the coherent development of light sources, optical communications, and optical instrumentation.
