Rare earth ions doped aluminosilicate and phosphate double clad optical fibres

D. DOROSZ
The paper presents the result of investigations of aluminosilicate (low silica - 25 mol%) and phosphate optical fibres. The methods of glass preparation and their properties are showed. A set of physical measurements including: DTA, DSC, DL analysis, absorption spectroscopy, visible and infrared absorption edges and thermo-physical properties were determined. The stable glass compositions were doped with rare earth elements. Selected properties of obtained glasses are: high transmission, refractive index 1.53-1.68, high solubility of RE ions (up to 10 wt%). Double-crucible and rod-in-tube drawing techniques were applied to obtain aluminosilicate and phosphate double clad optical fibres doped with neodymium and ytterbium ions. Luminescence spectra of manufactured glasses and fibres are presented.
Key words: 

rare-earths in glasses, double clad optical fibre, oxide glasses, low silica glass.
