Abstract
We report optical signal amplification in a solid-state dye-doped polymer with a rib waveguide structure. A pulsed signal and a collinear pump are coupled into a poly(methyl methacrylate) waveguide doped with 1% by weight Rhodamine 640 dye. Depending on the signal intensity, a maximum optical gain in the range is obtained from a -long device, accompanied by a signal-to-noise ratio in the range.
