  • Abstract
    In this paper, we report on Er-doped ZSG waveguide amplifiers and electroluminescent devices (ELDs). A 3.5 μm wide ZSG:Er optical amplifier with a core thickness of 1.1 μm and a length of 4.7 cm was fabricated. The refractive index variation with wavelength was obtained using a variable wavelength spectroscopic ellipsometer with a 0.27 μm ZSG:Er sample. The results indicate that electroluminescent optical amplifiers in ZSG:Er films are possible.
