Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007020362A2] The invention relates to an optical fibre comprising a gain medium which is equipped with: a core (22) which is formed from a transparent material and nanoparticles (24) comprising a doping element and at least one element for enhancing the use of said doping element; and an outer sheath (26) which surrounds the core. The invention is characterised in that the doping element is erbium (Er) and in that the enhancing element is selected from among antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi) and a combination of antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi). According to the invention, one such fibre is characterised in that the size of the nanoparticles is variable and included between 1 and 500 nanometers and preferably greater than 20 nm.
