Abstract

L'invention concerne une famille de verres au flurophosphate dopés à l'erbium destinés à l'amplification de signaux optiques. Cette composition, exprimée en parties, est constituée, pour 100 parties en poids, de 15 à 40 de P2O5, de 0 à 5 d'Al2O3, de 0 à 9 de MgO, de 0 à 9 de CaO, de 0 à 9 de SrO, de 0 à 45 de BaO, de 5 à 25 d'AlF3, de 0 à 10 de MgF2, de 0 à 25 de CaF2, de 0 à 25 de SrF2, de 0 à 20 de BaF2, de 0 à 2 de KHF2, de 0 à 2 de K2TiF6 et jusqu'à 10 parties en poids d'oxyde d'erbium. Les verres de l'invention présentent un gain élevé et un spectre très plat dans la largeur de bande des 1550 nm comparé aux verres de la figure. Ces compositions de verre sont particulièrement bien adaptées à l'amplification à fibre optique ou planaire dans le multiplexage en longueur d'onde et dans des applications similaires.
