ABSTRACT:
A system for producing an optical gain. The system includes an optical fiber having a core and a cladding, the core being doped with Pr.sup.3+ ; and a source producing light to energize the Pr.sup.3+ to the .sup.1 G.sub.4 state and produce an optical gain by a .sup.1 G.sub.4 -.sup.3 H.sub.5 transition at a wavelength in the range of 1.25 to 1.34 microns. The system also includes a method of making and a method of using the same.
