Design and fabrication of Pr3+ doped fluoride glass optical fibres for efficient 1.3 micron amplifiers
Design and fabrication of Pr3+ doped fluoride glass optical fibres for efficient 1.3 micron amplifiers
Two novel glass compositions aimed at improving the quantum efficiency and gain of the 1.3µm praseodimium-doped fibre amplifier (PDFA) were developed and investigated. The two glasses were compositions based on cadmium halide and gallium fluoride. Both bulk glass samples and core-clad fibre structures were fabricated and studied. A variety of measurements have been carried out in order to assess the potential of these glasses as hosts for PDFA. The results were used to perform a detailed modelling of the projected amplifier characteristics. Both glasses are judged to be promising candidates for the second generation of 1.3µm PDFA's.

Abstract
Two novel glass compositions aimed at improving the quantum efficiency and gain of the 1.3µm praseodimium-doped fibre amplifier (PDFA) were developed and investigated. The two glasses were compositions based on cadmium halide and gallium fluoride. Both bulk glass samples and core-clad fibre structures were fabricated and studied. A variety of measurements have been carried out in order to assess the potential of these glasses as hosts for PDFA. The results were used to perform a detailed modelling of the projected amplifier characteristics. Both glasses are judged to be promising candidates for the second generation of 1.3µm PDFA's.
