3D printed Er-doped silica fibre by Direct Ink Writing

3D printed preform by DIW was used to produce an Er-doped silica fibre fabricated. The fabrication method and optical features of the doped fibre are reported. Its absorption of 62.98dB/m at 980nm and 151.49dB/m at 1535nm and lifetime with a pulse width of 10ms are consistent to a Er-dope fibre produce in a conventional fabrication process. This data supports the paper '3D printed Er-doped silica fibre by Direct Ink Writing' presented at the 9th EPS-QEOD Europhotonic Virtual Conference that took place 30th August-4th Sepetember 2020
