Self-bleaching phenomenon observed in the Ce/Yb Co-doped silica fiber

We report on a self-bleaching phenomenon observed in the Ce Yb co-doped silica fiber. The excess loss of the Ce/Yb fiber reduces about 1.5 dB/m at 633 nm after the pump laser was turned off for an hour; recovered about 10% of its pristine condition.
