Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to erbium-doped fibers for photonic devices, and more particularly to erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) operating in the L-band. The specification describes rare earth doped fiber amplifier devices for operation in the extended L-band, i.e. at wavelengths from 1565 nm to above 1610 nm. High efficiency and flat gain spectra are obtained using a high silica based fiber codoped with Er, Al, Ge, and P and an NA of at least 0.15.
