  • Abstract
    A signal enhancement of 10 dB at 1535 nm with a low launched pump power of 1 mW at 1480 nm is achieved for sputtered Er3+:Y2O3 channel waveguides on oxidised silicon substrates. With the developed reactive co-sputtering process using sputterguns the erbium concentration can be varied easily and reproducibly.
