Experimental study of Nd(TTA)3Phen-doped 6-FDA/Epoxy Waveguides

چکیده
Introduction Lasing and amplification by rare-earth doped polymer materials has been widely investigated [1-2]. In our previous work [3], a Nd(TTA)3phen doped 6-FDA epoxy film was spin-coated on an thermally oxidized wafer. The Judd-Ofelt analysis based on the absorption spectrum shows that this neodymium doped polymer material has a good potential to be used as a planar waveguide in lasers or amplifiers. In this paper, the spontaneous emission spectrum of this neodymium doped film and the fabrication of Nd(TTA)3phen doped 6-FDA epoxy channel waveguides by backfilling the core material in inverted cladding channels are presented.

Judd-Ofelt Analysis of Nd(TTA)3Phen-doped 6-FDA/Epoxy Planar Waveguides
The fluorescent complex Nd(TTA)3Phen (TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, Phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline), was doped into the host material 6-FDA epoxy (6-fluorinated-dianhydride cured epoxy). The room-temperature absorption spectrum of Nd transitions was experimentally obtained, with which the Judd-Ofelt model was applied to determine the Judd-Ofelt parameters. These parameters are used to calculate t...

The emission spectrum of the Nd(TTA)3Phen-doped 6-FDA/Epoxy waveguide was measured at d~fferentpump owers. The result indicates that stimulated emission might take place at 890nm, 1060nm and 1330nm. The luminescent lifetime of this Nd complex doped waveguide was experimentally obtained and shows that this Nd complex is quite promising for amplification. Based on rate equations and experimentall...
