Abstract
A Sm(+2)/Sm(+3) codoped aluminosilicate glass optical fiber was fabricated by use of modified chemical-vapor deposition in conjunction with an aerosol-delivery technique. A permanent index change of 7.6 x 10(-5) was induced in the fiber by irradiation of 1 W of multiline output from an Ar-ion laser. Bleaching of a broad absorption band of Sm(+2) in the visible range was also observed, and it is believed that photoionization of Sm(+2)? Sm(+3)+e plays an important role in the induced photorefractivity.
