Abstract

An optical waveguide for fiber-optic amplifiers is disclosed where the Progression of the fluorescence band of optical waveguides that are doped with erbium and aluminum can be additionally flattened if the core contains fluorine, e.g., in the form of ErF.sub.3 and AIF.sub.3, as an additional doping agent.
