On-chip Integrated Amplifiers and Lasers Utilizing Rare-earth-ion Activation
This contribution reviews our recent results on rare-earth-ion-doped integrated amplifiers and lasers. We have concentrated our efforts on complex-doped polymers [1], amorphous Al2O3 [2], and crystalline potassium double tungstates [3]. A polymer host material, based on a cycloaliphatic diepoxy cured with a fluorinated dianhydride, has been developed [4]. When activated with the rare-earth-ion-...
متن کاملYb-doped KY(WO4)2 planar waveguide laser.
High-quality monoclinic KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides were grown by liquid-phase epitaxy, and laser operation of an Yb-doped KY(WO4)2 waveguide was demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. Continuous-wave laser emission near 1 microm was achieved with both surface and buried planar waveguides. An output power of 290 mW was obtained in the fundamental mode and the slope efficiency was abo...

We report our recent work on obtaining on-chip lasers in crystalline double tungstate waveguides using focused-ion-beam (FIB) nanostructuring. Photonic cavity structures were defined by forming deeply etched Bragg gratings in KGdxLu1-x(WO4)2:Yb 3+ using FIB milling. The FIB milling procedure was optimized and gratings more than 4 μm in depth with an improved total sidewall angle of about 5 wer...

The design, fabrication and spectroscopic characterization of ytterbium-doped Ta2O5 rib waveguide are described. The waveguides are fabricated on silicon substrates and operate in a single mode at wavelengths above 970 nm. The peak absorption cross-section was measured to be 2.75 × 10 cm at 975 nm. The emission spectrum was found to have a broad fluorescence spanning from 990 nm to 1090 nm with...
متن کاملA 35 : Impurity - doped Micro - lasers
Rare-earth-ion-doped monoclinic potassium double tungstates KY(WO4)2, KGd(WO4)2, and KLu(WO4)2 are excellent host materials for solid-state lasers [1]. High-quality KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides were grown and laser operation was demonstrated for the first time [2]. Co-doping a KY(WO4)2 layer with Gd 3+ and Lu 3+ ions allows for lattice-matched layers with increased refractive index contrast with...
