Neodymium. praseodymium and erbium ions are successfully incorporated into
the core of deuterated polymer-based optical fibres. The spectra of three f
ibres have several strong absorption bands in the visible and infrared regi
ons. The fluorescence lifetime (6.24 mus) at 1060nm of Nd-chelate doped pla
stic optical fibre with an uncooled photodiode is obtained.
