  • Abstract
    Ridge-type ErxY2-xSiO5 waveguides were fabricated. Amorphous ErxY2-xSiO5 was deposited using reactive ion beam sputter deposition, and crystallized by high-temperature annealing. The inversion level achieved was 0.4, limited by grain-boundary scattering and multimodedness of waveguide.
