Abstract

In this paper, the fibers with Yb3+/Ho3+ co-doped air cladding are fabricated by the plasma non-chemical vapor deposition method with the stack-capillary-draw technique for the first time to our knowledge. By the excitation at 975 nm, the fluorescence and up-conversion emission properties of these fibers are experimentally investigated. The mechanism of up-conversion emission is analyzed. The results show that such a fiber fabricated by using the plasma non-chemical vapor deposition method can be used as the potential material for the fiber laser at the visible and infrared spectral regions.
