Abstract
The recent interest in optical-fiber devices, such as lasers, amplifiers, dispersion compensators, and optical filters, has emphasized the need for more complex fiber designs in terms of both refractive-index profile and multielement composition. The fabrication of tightly controlled, complex fiber structures requires a detailed understanding of each process step. Earlier’ work in this field concentrated on thermodynamics of dopant incorporation and diffusion behavior. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the interplay of two or more dopants during the preparation process.
