Abstract
Concentration dependence of nonlinear refractive index in fibers heavily doped with is studied by using the D-scan method. Good agreement with an empirical dependence established earlier with lower concentrations by the cw dual-frequency beat signal technique is shown for concentrations up to . The highest values of the nonlinear coefficient γ at of 47.9, 57.7, and were obtained in fibers doped with 67, 75, and , respectively.
