Rhodamine 6G doped polymer optical fiber amplifiers
Rhodamine 6G-doped step-index polymer optical fiber is fabricated. The characteristics of the amplification of rhodamine 6G-doped step-index polymer optical fiber amplifier have been studied. The high-gain optical amplification with a tunable wavelength range from 585 to 613 nm is obtained in a step-index polymer optical fiber doped with rhodamine 6G at 10-ppm level, which can be used for broadband amplifiers and tunable lasers.
