The germanate glass composition which is suited for the use of the fiber amplifier for broadband expansion of the light information is offered. As for the glass, desirably, GeO2 of the 35-75%, PbO of the 0-45%, BaO of the 5-20%, ZnO of the 5-20% and R2 O of the 2-10% (R=Na, Li and K) it includes. The thulium ion (the Tm3+) is doped, the holmium ion (the Ho3+) is doped also. The glass composition of this invention gives big bandwidth much in comparison with the glass of the time before. In addition, also affinity of the existing silica optical fiber is superior very. Selective figure Figure 2
