FIELD: fiber optics. SUBSTANCE: optical fiber is made from quartz glass doped with trivalent erbium/samarium ions. The erbia content is of 10 to 100 ppm (by weight). The samaria-erbia ratio is determined by the equation given in the description of the invention. EFFECT: improved optical characteristics.
