Abstract

Simultaneous measurement technique of evaluating the doped optical fibers (DOF) parameters is a suitable scheme for DOF production industries. In this paper, we introduce a novel technique to characterize simultaneously the main parameters of DOF such as absorption and emission cross-sections (ACS, ECS), background loss coefficient (BLC), and low dopant concentration using the gain equation of DOFs. We used this new method to determine the ACS, ECS, BLC in a standard sample of Al-P-Erbium doped optical fiber. The results have been analyzed and compared with other reports.
