  • Abstract
    Fibres containing rare-earth ions have been produced by an extended MCVD process. The fibres have very high absorption levels in the visible and near infra-red regions, without significantly compromising the low-loss characteristics of the fibre at wavelengths between 950 and 1400 nm.
