What is ERBIUM FLUORIDE?

Chemical properties

PINK FINE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

The Uses of ERBIUM FLUORIDE

Erbium Fluoride, High purity Erbium Fluoride is applied as dopant in making optical fibre and amplifier. Erbium-doped optical silica-glass fibers are the active element in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), which are widely used in optical communications. The same fibers can be used to create fiber lasers, In order to work efficiently, Erbium-doped fiber is usually co-doped with glass modifiers/homogenizers, often aluminum or phosphors.

The Uses of ERBIUM FLUORIDE

Erbium(III) fluoride is an important colorant in glass manufacturing and porcelain enamel glazes. It is used to produce erbium metal. It is used as dopant in making optical products. It is highly employed as erbium doped fluoride fibers in optical communications.
