Extremely low nonlinear Er, La co-doped fiber suitable for L-band amplifier

We realized very high absorption coefficient EDF by optimizing the core composition and structure, and also achieved large chromatic dispersion without enhancing the nonlinear coefficient. Consequently extremely low nonlinear EDF suitable for L-band was materialized.
