Abstract

Fibres are significant propagating and gain medium, drawing wide attention and rapid developments in the past several decades. Among them, fluoride fibres achieve a big success in the applications of lasers and amplifiers at the near-infrared and mid-infrared areas due to the advantages of the broad transmission window, low phonon energy and high doping concentration. Particularly, fibre amplifiers are indispensable devices for enhancing signal strength in optical communication and other light transfer systems. This paper provides a systematic overview of the fluoride fibre material properties, fabrication techniques, and technological advancements, alongside a comprehensive review of current research on fluoride fibre amplifiers within the near-infrared and mid-infrared domains. Furthermore, by comparing fluoride and silica fibre amplifiers, this study offers a detailed analysis of the advantages and technical challenges posed by fluoride fibre amplifiers, providing insights for improving their performance and broadening their application scope.

期刊介绍： Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
