摘要
With the help of the pulsed laser deposition technique, completely (001) textured ZnO thin films were achieved on (001) alpha-SiO2 single crystalline substrates at moderate substrate temperatures of 225-500 degrees C. The films exhibited oscillated optical transmittance, from which the refractive indices vs the wavelength were calculated and fitted in Cauchy's equation. The index dispersion showed the same tendency as that of the bulk ZnO crystal. By the prism-film coupling method a wave of 0.633 mu m was well guided in the films. The m-lines for both TE and TM multimodes were sharp and clear. Light propagation lines were observed within the films and the propagation loss was determined to 2.8 dB/cm. Waveguide equations suiting the anisotropic waveguide structures were derived to determine the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices. Values of n(o) = 1.96 and n(c) = 1.98 were much closer to that of: the bulk crystal. The as-deposited films were of high quality in crystallinity and optical properties. (C) 1997?
