Abstract
Amplification in Pr3+-doped fluorozirconate optical fibre is reported at the 632.8 nm He-Ne wavelength. Gross gains up to 11 dB have been ac hieved in a 1.4 m length using a launched pump power of 315 mW at 476. 5 nm. Measurements of extinction at pump and signal wavelengths indica te that significantly improved performance can be expected using a muc h shorter length of fibre.
