Abstract

For the near IR spectral region from 1150 to 1800 nm, including the ranges from 1250 to 1500 nm and 1600 to 1800 nm where efficient rare-earth-doped fiber lasers don’t exist, bismuth-doped optical fibers are promising active materials. The last two spectral ranges are of great interest for some applications, in particular for optical fiber communication. Earlier, we developed Bi-doped fiber lasers and optical amplifiers operating in the first of these spectral ranges. Here, we report new results on the development of bismuth-doped optical fibers and fiber lasers for a spectral range of 1600-1800 nm.
