The project is focused on optical fibers with nanostructered core for
optical amplification. The goal of the project is the research of
methods of preparation of nanostrucured alumino-silicate optical fibers
with fluorescence of rare-earth elements (RE) enhanced due to alumina
naoparticles inside the core. The problem will be solved by two
approaches – by deposition of alumina nanoparticles containing RE into
core and by nanocrystallization of the core due to its thermal
treatment. The results of the project should comprise a know-how for
preparation of nanostrucutred alumino-silicate fibers and samples of the
erbium- and thulium-doped fibers with enhanced ASE. The results coud
lead to increased efficiency of fiber amplifiers and lasers for C-, L-
and S- telecommunication bands.
