In this review paper, we present radiation effects on silica-based optical fibers. We first describe the mechanisms inducing microscopic and macroscopic changes under irradiation …
Lanthanide luminescence gains significant attention during the last decade or so because of its unique optical properties. In designing a phosphor material various parameter needs to …

We present a new structure for erbium-doped optical fibers [hole-assisted carbon- coated,(HACC)] that, combined with an appropriate choice of codopants in the core, strongly …
Erbium doped bismuth borosilicate (BBS) glasses, possessing the broadest 1.55 μm near infrared (NIR) emission band among oxide glasses, stand out as excellent fiber material for …
The radiation responses of different high-power erbium/ytterbium-codoped fiber amplifiers (HP-EYDFA) have been investigated up to 100 krad (SiO_2) dose levels. These devices are …
The evolution of Ytterbium 2 F 5/2 and Erbium 4 I 13/2 energy level lifetimes versus doses of various radiation types (40 keV X-rays, 480 MeV protons, 1.2 MeV γ-rays and 6 MeV …
