Abstract
This chapter describes the fabrication of thulium (Tm) doped silica fibers using the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) technique coupled with solution doping. Section “Introduction” provides an introduction to rare earth (RE)-doped fiber amplifiers. Section “Thulium Doped Fibers” reviews recent developments for thulium doped fibers. Sections “Fabrication Methods of Silica Fibers” and “MCVD-Solution Doping Technique” outline the common fabrication techniques of silica fibers and the MCVD-solution doping method, respectively. Section “Fabrication and Characterization of Optical Fiber Preforms” describes in details the experimental procedures used in this work for the fabrication and characterization of thulium-doped optical fiber preforms. The preforms characterization results are also provided in section “Fabrication and Characterization of Optical Fiber Preforms.” The spectroscopic characteristics of thulium ions in the fabricated silica fibers are given in section “Spectroscopic Characteristics of Thulium Doped Fibers (TDF).” The conclusions drawn from this work are provided in section “Conclusions.”
