Quantum efficiency of praseodymium-doped Ga:La:S glass for 1.3µm optical fibre amplifiers
The gain of Pr<sup>3+</sup>-doped ZBLAN fibre amplifiers is hindered by a poor quantum efficiency due mainly to a high rate of multiphonon decay. Sulphide-based glasses ameliorate this problem through a higher radiative rate and lower non-radiative rate. In this letter, Pr<sup>3+&l...
