  • Abstract
    The output spectrum of Nd3+-doped fibre fluorescent sources is found to vary with pump wavelength which presents a problem for their use in optical fibre gyroscopes. Different silica-based fibre types show different dependences. It is shown that single-mode fibre fabricated from phosphate glass exhibits a spectrum which is extremely stable.
