摘要
(100 - x)SiO2-xHfO(2) (x = 10, 20,30,40 mol) planar waveguides, doped with 0.3 mol% Er3+ ions were prepared by the sol-gel route, using dip-coating deposition on V-Si02 substrates. The waveguides were characterized by m-line, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The results are discussed with the aim of assessing the role of hafnia on the structural, optical and spectroscopic properties of the erbium-doped silica-hafnia planar waveguides. The spectral bandwidth of the I-4(13/2) --> I-4(15/2) transition does not change practically with the hafnium content. The I-4(13/2) level decay curves present a single-exponential profile, with a lifetime between 5.5 and 7.1 ms, depending on the HfO2 concentration. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
