Abstract
The method of tunable site-selective laser excitation was used for a study of the spectral and fluorescence characteristics of Yb3+ optical centers in laser optical fiber. Decay curves and positions of fluorescence spectra maxima at different wavelengths of selective laser excitation and positions of excitation spectra maxima at different fluorescence selective registration provide new information on lifetimes and Stark energy distribution among inhomogeneously broadened Yb3+ lines. The obtained Stark splitting energy distribution diagram demonstrates the tuneability of Yb3+ laser oscillation wavelength under tunable excitation of a pump laser.
