Abstract

In the paper spectroscopic properties of aluminosilicate glasses co-doped with Nd³⁺/Yb³⁺ were investigated. Strong and wide emission in the 1μm region obtained by optimization of Nd³⁺ → Yb³⁺ energy transfer corresponding to the superposition of optical transitions Nd³⁺:⁴F_3/2 → ⁴I_11/2 and Yb³⁺:²F_5/2 → ²F_7/2 (Yb³⁺) was observed. The construction of double-core, double-clad optical fiber with cores manufactured from the aluminosilicate glass (co-doped with 1^st core- 0.15Nd₂O₃, 2^nd core - 0.15Nd₂O₃/0.45Yb₂O₃ mol%) was developed. Comparative analysis of shape of luminescence (λ_p=808 nm) obtained in bulk glass (0.15Nd₂O₃/0.45Yb₂O₃) and ASE in double-core optical fiber clearly shows significant differences in luminescent properties. Mechanisms influencing differences in the shape of luminescence of fabricated glass and optical fiber were also discussed.
