Abstract

The effect of the types of alkaline earth metal ions (Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺) and concentration of Al₂O₃ and BaO on the refractive index and the effective emission linewidths of the ⁴I_13/2 - ⁴I_15/2 transition of Er³⁺ ions in phosphate glasses, 64P₂O₅ · 12Al₂O₃ · 3.5(Er₂O₃ + La₂O₃) · 20.5MO (M = Mg, Ca, Ba) and 64P₂O₅ · 3.5(Er₂O₃ + La₂O₃) · (21.5 - x)Al₂O₃ · (11 + x)BaO (x = 0, 3.5, 6.5 and 9.5), were investigated. A single mode Er³⁺ doped phosphate glass fiber with a core diameter of 4 μm was fabricated by the rod-in-tube technique. A new Er³⁺ doped fiber amplifier is demonstrated pumping with a 980 nm fiber pigtailed-laser diode. A gain per unit length greater than 2 dB/cm is demonstrated, which is the largest gain per unit length for fiber amplifiers to our knowledge.
