  • Abstract
    Photodarkening in highly Yb-doped aluminosilicate and phosphosilicate fibers, under 488 nm irradiation, is presented. Both irradiation-induced excess loss and post-irradiation temporal loss evaluations reveal that Yb-doped phosphosilicate fiber is highly resistant to photodarkening.
