Abstract :
We analyze the performance of nanocrystal-Si sensitized erbium doped waveguide amplifier, and suggest novel structures and operating methods which can be used to enhance its performance figures. With modest assumptions on the design parameters, including currently available pump LED power, we show that the performance target of 10 dB of gain with 0 dBm input signal can be achieved.
