    Abstract: An optical fiber for optical amplification, characterized in that a full width at half maximum of gain spectrum is 45 nm or more; and a maximum value of power conversion efficiency is 80% or more. A method for producing a rare earth element-doped glass for use in manufacturing the optical fiber, which comprises a deposition step of depositing fine silica glass particles and a co-dopant (a) to prepare an aggregate of fine silica glass particles doped with the co-dopant (a); and a immersion step of immersing the aggregate of fine silica glass particles prepared in the deposition step in a solution containing the rare earth element and the co-dopant (b) to thereby dope the aggregate of fine silica glass particles with the rare earth element component and the co-dopant (b).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for the manufacture of an optical fiber preform having incorporated therein a comparatively high concentration of rare earth dopant material, and which thus can be drawn and processed into an optical fiber having low numerical aperture, low core attenuation, and high pumping power absorption. The high concentrations of rare earth dopant material are accomplished through either the “hybrid vapor processing” (HVP) method or a “hybrid liquid processing” (HLP) method, each capable of being practiced in combination or independently of one another. The HVP method involves the vaporization of a rare earth halogen by the exposure thereof to a sufficiently elevated temperature, independently, or contemporaneously with the transport of the resultant rare earth halogen laden vapor, into a glass forming oxidation reaction zone on a flowing stream of essentially an unreactive inert gas, such as helium. According to the HLP method, a first amount of rare earth dopant is provided according to the HVP method and/or other vapor source of rare earth dopant which is mixed with glass forming vapors to form a deposited soot layer on the internal surface of a glass tube. The soot-deposited tube is then impregnated with a dopant solution which may be formulated with a second amount of rare earth dopant. The tube is then thermally collapsed resulting in an optical preform with a an enhanced amount of incorporated first and second amounts of rare earth dopant.
