Nanostructured optical fiber obtained by the sol-gel process in the SiO2-ZrO2 system doped with erbium ions

We present experimental results concerning the first silica-zirconia nanostructured optical fiber doped with erbium ions obtained by the sol-gel process. The microstructure and the optical properties of the fiber are characterized.
