Abstract :
Recent advances in nanocrystal-Si sensitized, Er-doped silica waveguide amplifiers are introduced. A numerical performance analysis demonstrating its comparative advantages and commercial performance is presented, and ultra-broadband luminescence using a single pump-source and Er-Tm codoping is demonstrated.
