Abstract Razdobreev et al. claim that the energy level diagrams discussed in our paper are absolutely inconsistent with the experimental data. We carefully studied the comment and concluded that the claims on our paper are largely invalid. We maintain that the proposed diagrams in our paper can explain the luminescence in the spectral range of 1.4–1.7 µm and the spectral region 1.15 µm. Our calculated results are reliable for non-defective silica fiber models.
