Abstract

The spectroscopy and microstructure of Cr-doped fibers (CDFs) fabricated by the drawing-tower technique are investigated. The spontaneous emission spectrum exhibited broadband emission of 1.2 μm to 1.55 μm. High-resolution transmission electron microscope images showed that there were nanocrystalline structures in the core, surrounded by an amorphous matrix of SiO2; they also revealed that the nanoparticle density was about 3.2 × 103 μm−2 near the core/clad interface, and 1.5 × 104 μm−2 near the core center. The results indicate preliminary success in fabricating nanocrystalline CDF with low transmission loss and crystal-like active properties.
