ABSTRACT:
Optical waveguide amplifiers and lasers having a novel fluorescent dopant distribution are disclosed. Exemplarily, in a Si-based optical fiber the fluorescent dopant (e.g., Er) has an annular distribution, with the concentration maximum not at the center of the core but typically between the center and the core/cladding interface. The novel waveguides can be relatively insensitive to variations in cut-off wavelength and/or modal distribution of pump power.
