Abstract
The fabrication of Ce-doped fibers (CeDFs) is demonstrated by drawing-tower method employing rod-in-tube technique. The fluorescence spectrum of CeDFs with a 16-μm core exhibited a 160-nm broadband emission with 1.45-μm axial resolution. This CeDF may be functioned as a high-resolution light source for optical coherence tomography applications.
