Luminescence and laser properties of RE-doped silica optical fibers: The role of composition, fabrication processing, and inter-ionic energy transfers
Silica glass doped with rare-earth ions remains one of the most frequently used materials for fiber lasers and amplifiers, owing to various advantages such as high thermal resistance, mechanical and chemical durability, high transparency up to 2.2 μm, and last but not least, a proven and relatively...
