Abstract

This paper presents the experimental investigations in the fabrication of the double-clad optical fibers doped with ytterbium with the optimal cross-section of the first cladding. Those investigations were done on the basis of the optimization of the first cladding cross-section shapes in optical fibers doped by neodymium. The fabricated optical fibers doped by ytterbium were characterized by the measured spectral attenuation and by giving their so-called geometrical and real active cross-section.
