W-type highly erbium-doped active soft-glass fiber with high nonlinearity
W-type highly erbium-doped active soft-glass fiber with high nonlinearity
A highly nonlinear W-type erbium-doped fibre with high dopant concentration made of three lead silicate glass materials (Schott SF57, LLF1 and SF6) is presented. The fibre is designed to have a flat anomalous dispersion at ~1.55 µm, which is critical for enhancing parametric wavelength conversion. With this fibre, signals at ~ 1.55 µm are successfully amplified in continuous-wave and pico-second-pulsed formats with a 1.48 µm pump source. In particular, spectral broadening of over 350 nm together with strong degenerate four-wave-mixing effects is demonstrated. The authors highlight that this novel fibre combines, for first time to their knowledge, the benefits of highly doped active fibres with those of dispersion/nonlinearity-engineered fibres.

Abstract
A highly nonlinear W-type erbium-doped fibre with high dopant concentration made of three lead silicate glass materials (Schott SF57, LLF1 and SF6) is presented. The fibre is designed to have a flat anomalous dispersion at ~1.55 µm, which is critical for enhancing parametric wavelength conversion. With this fibre, signals at ~ 1.55 µm are successfully amplified in continuous-wave and pico-second-pulsed formats with a 1.48 µm pump source. In particular, spectral broadening of over 350 nm together with strong degenerate four-wave-mixing effects is demonstrated. The authors highlight that this novel fibre combines, for first time to their knowledge, the benefits of highly doped active fibres with those of dispersion/nonlinearity-engineered fibres.
