Abstract

A liquid core optical fiber (LCOF) composed of hollow fiber and a solution of Eu(TTA)(3)Phen (TTA=2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, Phen=1, 10-phenanthroline) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been fabricated, in which the concentration of Eu(TTA)(3)Phen in DMSO is 0.8 wt.%, the core diameter of the LCOF is 10 μm, and the fiber length is 8.1 cm. By the end pumping with a diode-pumped solid-state laser at 355 nm, a small optical signal at 613 nm was amplified with a gain of 8.2 dB at a pump power of 203 mW. Based on this experimental result, a liquid core optical fiber amplifier can be realized by the LCOF, which has wide potential applications in many optical devices.
