    Abstract: A borosilicate glass composition comprises SiO2 having a concentration of about 40 mole percent to about 60 mole percent, B2O3 having a concentration of about 10 mole percent to about 30 mole percent, and an alkaline earth and/or alkali compound having a concentration of 10 mole percent to about 40 mole percent. An optical fiber amplification device comprises a borosilicate glass material cladding. The core comprises a germanate glass material doped with Tm3+. The germanate glass material has a first surface configured to receive an optical signal having a wavelength of from about 1400 nm to about 1540 nm and a second surface configured to output an amplified optical signal. In this manner, low cost fiber amplifiers in the 1450-1530 nm wavelength region (corresponding to the S-band) can be achieved.

    Abstract: An optical amplifying fiber including a clad, a first core provided inside the clad and containing Ge, a second core provided inside the first core and containing Er and Al, and a third core provided inside the second core and containing Ge. The second core has a refractive index higher than that of the clad, and the first and third cores have refractive indexes each of which is higher than that of the second core. Since the third core having the high refractive index is provided at a central portion, it is possible to make smaller a mode field diameter and hence to improve a conversion efficiency of pumping light into signal light. Further, since the second core contains Al as an amplification band width increasing element, it is possible to sufficiently ensure a wide amplification band width.

    Abstract: A method that provides a new way to embed rare earth fluorides into silicate (or germania-doped silica) glasses by means of solution chemistry. Embedding rare earth fluorides into a silicate (or germania-doped silica) glass comprises the following steps. First, form a porous silicate core preform. Second, submerge the preform into an aqueous solution of rare earth ions. Third, remove the preform from the solution and wash the outside surfaces of the preform. Fourth, submerge the preform into an aqueous solution of a fluorinating agent to precipitate rare earth trifluorides from the solution and deposit in the pores or on the wall of the preform. This is followed by drying.
