■ Background Loss & Emission Wavelength
By selecting rare earth elements and excitation wavelengths, light emissions of various wavelengths are obtained.
While the core has low loss in the region of long wavelengths, propagation light in the first clad causes greater loss at 1.7 μm and longer wavelengths due to absorption of the fluorine-based UV resin used for the second clad.
