Neodymium-complex-doped steady-state polymer waveguide lasers

چکیده
Channel waveguides based on a polymer, 6-fluorinated-dianhydride/epoxy, which is actively doped with a rare-earth-ion-doped complex, Nd(thenoyltrifluoroacetone)3 1,10phenanthroline, have been fabricated. Luminescence and loss spectra of the channel waveguides have been experimentally investigated. By optimization of the fabrication procedure of both, host material and optical structure, steady-state laser emission has been demonstrated from a channel waveguide near 1060 nm, which provides up to 440 μW of output power from the waveguide structures developed.

Channel waveguides based on a polymer, 6fluorinated-dianhydride/epoxy, which is actively doped with a rare-earth-ion-doped complex, Nd(thenoyltrifluoroacetone)3 1,10-phenanthroline, have been fabricated. Photoluminescence peaks at 880 nm, 1060 nm, and 1330 nm have been experimentally observed. By optimization of the fabrication procedure of both, host material and optical structure, continuous-...
متن کاملExperimental study of Nd(TTA)3Phen-doped 6-FDA/Epoxy Waveguides
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 ...
متن کاملEpitaxial Nd-doped α-(Al(1-x)Ga(x))2O3 films on sapphire for solid-state waveguide lasers.
Single-crystal aluminum-gallium oxide films have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy in the corundum phase. Films of the (Al(1-x)Ga(x))(2)O(3) alloys doped with neodymium have favorable properties for solid-state waveguide lasers, including a high-thermal-conductivity sapphire substrate and a dominant emission peak in the 1090-1096 nm wavelength range. The peak position is linearly correlated ...
متن کاملLuminescence Study of the Nd(TTA)3Phen-doped 6-FDAIEpoxy Waveguide
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...
