Bi-activated photonic materials are promising for various applications in high-capacity telecommunication, tunable laser, and advanced bioimaging and sensing. Although various Bi-doped material candidates have been explored, manufacturing of Bi heavily doped fiber with excellent optical activity remains a long-standing challenge. Herein, a novel viscosity evolutional behavior mediated strategy for manufacturing of Bi-doped active fiber with high dopant solubility is proposed. The intrinsic relation among the evolution of Bi, reaction temperature and viscosity of the glass system is established. Importantly, the effective avenue to prevent the undesired deactivation of Bi during fiber drawing by tuning the temperature dependent viscosity evolution is built. By applying the strategy, for the first time we demonstrate the success in fabrication of heavily doped Bi active fiber. Furthermore, the principal fiber amplifier device is constructed and broadband optical signal amplification is realized. Our findings indicate the effectiveness of the proposed temperature dependent viscosity mediated strategy for developing novel photonic active fiber, and they also demonstrate the great potential for application in the next-generation high-capacity telecommunication system.
