Optical waveguide amplifier in Nd-doped glass written with near-ir ferntosecond laser pulses - Electronics Letters
InlrodJcriun: It is well known that the propertics of glass can be cliangcd by exposure lo lighl. The discoveiy by Hill [l] of thc photosensilivity of silica fibres nt UV wavclcngths and the extension of this method by Meltz [2] to a dircct-writing technique using a holographic setup has had ii major impact on guided wave device development. The UV direct-writc inethod has been used to write gr...
متن کاملEnhanced Gain in Er-doped Al2O3 Channel Waveguide Amplifiers
Erbium-doped aluminum oxide amplifiers with varying erbium concentration have been fabricated on thermally oxidized silicon substrates. Significant net internal gain of up to 1.6 dB/cm has been measured at 1533 nm for the optimum Er concentration. Furthermore, net gain has been demonstrated over a wavelength range of 40 nm, including the telecom C-band, demonstrating the potential for amplifier...
متن کاملUltrafast laser inscription of a 121-waveguide fan-out for astrophotonics.
Using ultrafast laser inscription, we report the fabrication of a prototype three-dimensional 121-waveguide fan-out device capable of reformatting the output of a 120-core multicore fiber (MCF) into a one-dimensional linear array. When used in conjunction with an actual MCF, we demonstrate that the reformatting function using this prototype would result in an overall through put loss of ≈7.0 d...
متن کاملTowards an Er-doped Si Nanocrystal Sensitized Waveguide Laser – the Thin Line between Gain and Loss
Important progress is being made in the development of a Si based waveguide laser operating at 1.5 μm. The gain medium responsible for the recent progress is Er-doped Si nanocrystal co-doped SiO2, a composite material that can potentially be fabricated using a VLSI compatible process. The material combines the broad absorption spectrum of Si nanocrystals with the efficient narrow linewidth emis...
متن کاملYtterbium-Doped Glass Waveguide Laser Fabricated by Ion Exchange
A ytterbium-doped, glass, channel waveguide laser, fabricated by ion exchange, is reported. The 2.2-cm long device, using broad-band 4% output couplers, lased in the vicinity from 1020 to 1030 nm when pumped by a Ti : sapphire laser operating at 910 nm. A lasing threshold of 50 mW (launched pump) and a slope efficiency of 5% were measured. Device parameters, including fluorescence lifetimes, em...
