title = "Applications of novel metal-derived optical fibers",
abstract = "Reported herein are two amorphous, all-oxide optical fibers derived from metal precursors, each possessing unique attributes. The first is a novel erbium-doped fiber (EDF) utilized within a traditional erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The second is a highly doped aluminosilicate core possessing a very high ytterbium concentration sufficient for luminescence quenching. While inefficient for lasing, the luminescence quenching promotes heat generation for use as a novel all-optically driven fiber microheater.",
