Exciting Erbium-Doped Planar Optical Amplifier Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Erbium-doped planar optical amplifiers can find numerous applications in photonic integrated circuits operating at 1.5 μm. The challenge is to fabricate these devices with high gain, operating at low pump power, and having small overall size. In this paper a review is given of our recent work in the area of Er-doped waveguide materials and amplifiers based on three materials classes: oxide films (A12O3, Y2O3, SiO2), polymers, and silicon.
