In this paper, we present phase-separated alumina–silica glass-based Er3+-doped optical fibers made by a modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process in combination with a solution doping (SD) technique. The fibers exhibited better optical performance than other silica-based host glasses—both in terms of spectral broadening and flattening of the gain spectra in the C band (1530–1560 nm) region—as well as an improved lifetime. These phase-separated erbium-doped fibers (EDF) promoted longer Er–O bond lengths and also hexa- and penta-coordinated Al3+ ions instead of the fourfold coordination found in non-phase-separated EDF. It was observed that the higher coordination numbers of Er3+ and Al3+ ions in phase-separated glass hosts led to more homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening, resulting in better flatness of the gain spectrum with 1.2 dB more gain compared to the non-phase-separated EDF.

AbstractHaving preliminary confirmed the possibility of erbium doping by thermal diffusion, we have used this process to introduce erbium into a silicon substrate from metallic erbium or erbium oxide sources. Diffusion experiments were carried out at 1050, 1200 and 1250°C. The Er:Si diffused samples were investigated using four probe resistivity and thermopower techniques for the measure of the concentration and type of carriers, SIMS and Auger spectroscopy for chemical analysis of the diffused layers and photoluminescence (PL) measurements at temperatures ranging from 2 to 298 K for the detection of optical activity. None of the samples prepared presented measurable PL at 2 K, except for one single sample on top of which was deposited an erbium doped silica glass. The electrical properties, instead, were deeply influenced by doping, indicating the formation of both donor and acceptors.
