We present a non-destructive technique for a combined evaluation of refractive index and active-dopant distribution in the same position along a rare-earth-doped optical fiber preform. The method relies on luminescence measurements, analyzed through an optical tomography technique, to define the active dopant distribution and ray-deflection measurements to calculate the refractive index profile. The concurrent evaluation of both the preform refractive index and the active dopant profiles allows for an accurate establishment of the dopant distribution within the optical core region. This combined information is important for the optimization and development of a range of advanced fibers, used, for example, in a high-power fiber lasers and modern spatial-division-multiplexing optical communication systems. In addition, the non-destructive nature allows the technique to be used to identify the most appropriate preform segment, thus increasing fiber yield and reducing development cycles. We demonstrate the technique on an Yb3+-doped aluminosilicate fiber preform and compare it with independent refractive index and active-dopant measurements. This technique will be useful for quality evaluation and optimization of optical fiber preforms and lends itself to advanced instrumentation.

Quenching Phenomenon

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.
