  • Abstract
    Simulations and experimental results on Er3+-doped fibers that amplify 6 modes over the C-band are reported. It is shown that complex Er3+-doping profile can hardly be achieved by MCVD process and that microstructuring the core could be an alternative to tailor the Er3+ doping profile. As a proof of concept, such a fiber is modeled and realized.
