Abstract
We demonstrate a multicore multidopant fiber which, when pumped with a single pump source around , emits a more than one octave-spanning fluorescence spectrum ranging from 925 to . The fiber preform is manufactured from granulated oxides and the individual cores are doped with five different rare earths, i.e., , , , , and .
