Abstract :
The state-of-the-art of planar optical amplifier, with particular emphasis to the work of research group of the Politecnico di Bari is reported. The first two examples pertain to high gain planar waveguide amplifiers, made by erbium doped and erbium-ytterbium co-doped, silica-titania SiO2-TiO2 thin films on silica SiO2 glass substrate. The third example refers to a planar channel waveguide amplifier made of praseodymium (Pr3+) doped GeS2 chalcogenide glass. The last is an all-optical amplifier constituted by a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) channel waveguide.
