Measurement of photodarkening in Yb-doped aluminosilicate fibres at elevated temperature

Photodarkening behaviour in Yb-doped aluminosilicate fibres at elevated temperatures is reported. The fibre was core-pumped at 977 nm and the transmitted powers were monitored at 633 (probe) and 977 nm (pump) simultaneously with ~47% of population inversion of Yb<sup>3+</sup> ions. A sat...
