Working with soft-glass fibers such as ZBLAN fibers, it is required to have precise control of the thermal splicing conditions. This paper extensively investigates the splicing thermal conditions using the Vytran GPX-3400 system to achieve controllable and low-loss thermal splicing between ZBLAN to ZBLAN and ZBLAN to silica fibers. The temperature information in the filament was monitored using a silica FBG sensor by adjusting the Power, the splicing duration, and airflow of the Argon gas, and the calibration curves were extracted.
While the amplifier optimized for small-signal amplification in the spectral range 1820-2020 nm is based on a thulium-doped silica-based optical fiber with a standard refractive index profile, the amplifier optimized for amplification in the range 1650-1820 nm is based on a thulium-doped optical fiber with a specially tailored internal waveguide structure effectively suppressing guided modes at the longer wavelengths of the thulium emission band and simultaneously promoting mode propagation at the shorter wavelengths. We present the values of the output properties for both types of amplifiers, such as small-signal gain or noise figure.
