Implantation Doping and Stimulated Emission of Er3+ in LinbO3:Ti Optical Waveguides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
We have implanted Nd and Er ions into x- and z-cut LiNbC3 single crystals and investigated the recrystallization of the host and the rare earth solubility and diffusion. The diffusion is substitutional, fastest parallel to c-axis and characterized by an activation energy of 3.6 eV. Optical fluorescence experiments of Er3+ in a waveguide configuration show stimulated emission and amplification at 1.53, 1.55 and 1.56 μm wavelength.
