Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional quartz glass rare earth solubility is low (~10 19 ions / cm 3 ), so the unit gain is small, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and intensification of optical fiber devices
Another method uses phosphate glass as the matrix glass, but the unit gain of the produced single-mode fiber at 1535nm is 4.20dB / cm, which needs further improvement
In addition, its fiber gain curve increases slowly with the increase of pump power, and reaches a peak value of ~4.20dB / cm at ~270mW. lead to a higher threshold
