Solution-doping technique for fabrication of rare-earth-doped optical fibres

A solution-doping technique is reported for the reproducible fabrication of low-loss optical fibres containing up to 4000 parts in 10<sup>6</sup> of rare-earth ions. The method produces excellent dopant uniformity and is sufficiently versatile to allow codoping with different ions.
