Do you know how a huge amount of data information with a very high speed and a long distance of over a thousand kilometres, is transferred? How does a doctor perform surgery using a laser instead of a scalpel? They are using a single, tiny fibre like human hair called optical fiber. Thus, a new optical amplifier is crucial to overcome the limitations of conventional amplifiers for recent and advanced communications. Meanwhile, pulsed fiber lasers have developed an incredible attention in recent years as a possible replacement to high-cost and bulk solid-state lasers for ultrafast technology with pulse durations down to the femtoseconds. In this book, a new Zirconia-Yttria-Aluminum co-doped Erbium-doped Fiber (Zr-EDF) is discussed as gain medium for amplifier and pulsed fiber laser applications. This fiber consists of Er2O ̧-doped ZrO2 rich nano-crystalline particles that have succeeded in generating both bright and dark pulses using 2D nanomaterials such as Black Phosphorus and Graphene Film.
