The effect of ion pair dynamics on unsaturable absorption in holmium doped fibers
We simulate the effect of pair induced quenching in a holmium doped fiber using two numerical models and compare their predictions to measured characteristics. The first model assumes instantaneous decay of doubly excited ion pairs, while the second considers an excited pair lifetime of 438 ns. We show the effect of this difference on the measurement of ion pair content.
