Abstract

Cr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4+</sup> -doped glass fiber by a laser-heated pedestal growth method is reported. By analyzing the absorption spectra, the transitions of Cr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> and Cr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4+</sup> in the fibers are identified. With appropriate pumping wavelength and divalent doping concentration, both Cr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> and Cr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4+</sup> emission bands can be excited simultaneously, and become comparable in their fluorescent intensities. As a result, more than 400-nm-width emission peaked at 1144 nm was generated at room temperature. As much as 12muW of amplified spontaneous emission was obtained by pumping with a 900-nm Ti : sapphire laser
