Low-energy erbium implanted Si 3 N 4 /SiO 2 /Si waveguides

Abstract
Photoluminescence spectroscopy studies of low energy erbium and erbium/oxygen-implanted silicon-nitride waveguides are compared. Emission spectra show peaks at 1533 and 1548nm. The optimum annealing temperature is determined to be 1175°C, yielding lifetimes up to 7ms and a several decade intensity increase. Er implantation yields more than 40% longer lifetime and higher intensity than Er/O.
