Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of triple clad thulium doped fiber, including:
Fibre core;
The fibre core includes silica, thulium oxide, aluminum oxide and phosphorus pentoxide, and the molar content of thulium oxide is 0.2~0.8%, the molar content of phosphorus pentoxide is 0.5~1.0%, mol ratio >=8 of aluminum oxide and thulium oxide;The fibre A diameter of 10~30 μm of core;
