Abstract
An amplifying optical fiber is proposed (particularly for the 1300 nm wavelength range) whereby a high amplification can be achieved with the smallest possible pumping power. Agglomerates comprising a number of complexes are incorporated into the core of the amplifying optical fiber. The complexes are composed of a rare-earth element and a separator substance.
