Abstract

ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of optical communication and laser technologies demands materials that simultaneously exhibit broadband tunability and sufficient gain efficiency. However, achieving a harmonious balance between these two critical properties in conventional glass optical fibers remains a significant challenge. Here, we report the development and characterization of erbium‐doped yttrium‐aluminum‐garnet (Er:YAG) nanocrystal composite fibers. The fibers are fabricated using a post‐feeding melt‐in‐tube method by precisely controlling the interfacial reaction time (
