    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.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating an optical waveguide, comprising the following steps. That is, forming an optical waveguide on surface of a substrate via an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD) method using a silica raw material containing an organic material, and irradiating ultraviolet light on at least a portion of that optical waveguide. The refractive index of the portion of the optical waveguide irradiated with ultraviolet light increases. Since changing the refractive index in this way enables the formation of a diffraction grating, it is possible to manufacture optical filters and wavelength dispersion devices.

    Abstract: Applicants have determined that much of the nonuniformity in solution doped preforms is due to nonuniformity of the soot layer caused by the high temperature necessary for complete reaction, and that MCVD fabrication using reaction temperature lowering gases such as nitrous oxide (N.sub.2 O) can produce more uniform soot layers. The conventional oxygen/reactant gas mixture presents a very small temperature window in which a uniform silica soot layer can be deposited without sintering. If the temperature in oxygen is too low, SiCl.sub.4 will not react completely and silicon oxychlorides will form. This degrades the soot layer and makes it unusable. If the temperature is too high the soot layer begins to sinter, decreasing the surface area and porosity. Adding a reaction temperature lowering gas lowers the reaction temperature and enables deposition of soot on the tube wall at a temperature substantially lower than the sintering temperature. This results in a more uniform, porous soot layer along the length of the preform and from one preform to another; and, in turn, the greater uniformity permits more uniform solution doping.

    Abstract: A rare earth doped fiber for use in a fiber laser is presented. The fiber laser uses a single stripe broad area pump diode permits Yb lasing in its 3-level transition at 980 nm preferentially over the 1010 nm 4-level transition. The present fiber laser is characterized by a dual cladding fiber geometry which includes an inner rare earth doped single mode core. There is an inner cladding designed to be a multimode pump core for the pump light. The pump core is followed by a final cladding to confine the pump radiation. The present laser matches the larger/outer mode field to that of a single stripe broad area diode in order to maximize the pump intensity.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a dispersion shifted optical fiber with a smooth annular ring refractive index profile has the steps of heating a quartz tube with an external oxygen or hydrogen burner and supplying the quartz tube with raw materials including SiCl.sub.4, GeCl.sub.4, POCl.sub.3 and CF.sub.4. O.sub.2 is later supplied. Then, the quartz tube is heated in nine passes of decreasing temperature from 1920.degree. C. to 1890.degree. C., so as to deposit a core section. In the nine passes, the quantity of SiCl.sub.4 feed flow decreases from 380 milligrams per minute to 260 milligrams per minute, the quantity of GeCl.sub.4 feed flow increases from 20 milligrams per minute to 195 milligrams per minute, and the quantity of O.sub.2 feed flow is kept constant at 1500 cubic centimeters per minute.
