Abstract
The authors report a peak gain of 1.2dB/cm at 1535nm in an erbium:lute cium codoped Al/P/Si fibre fabricated using a standard MCVD and soluti on doping technique. This is the highest gain per unit length ever rep orted for an erbium doped fibre amplifier. The incorporation of luteci um into the glass is shown to reduce the erbium ion clustering within the fibre.
