Abstract
Work has progressed in the testing and characterization of Erbium and Ytterbium doped waveguides. Areas for improvement have been identified and include reducing waveguide and coupling losses as well as increasing ASE output power and gain. Several steps, including a new waveguide structure, have been taken to improve performance in each of these areas and initial lifetime measurements done with the new guide structure show that work is progressing in the right direction.
