A series of (100-x) Si O2 -xHf O2 planar waveguides (10<45) doped with 0.01 mol % Er3+ was prepared by a sol-gel route. The lifetime of the I 13 2 4 level and the refractive index of the waveguides were measured. The magnetic dipole and electric dipole rates of the I 13 2 4 → I 15 2 4 transition were estimated as a function of the refractive index. The electric dipole transition rates were well reproduced by the real cavity model.

Abstract
A series of (100-x) Si O2 -xHf O2 planar waveguides (10<45) doped with 0.01 mol % Er3+ was prepared by a sol-gel route. The lifetime of the I 13 2 4 level and the refractive index of the waveguides were measured. The magnetic dipole and electric dipole rates of the I 13 2 4 → I 15 2 4 transition were estimated as a function of the refractive index. The electric dipole transition rates were well reproduced by the real cavity model.File in questo prodotto:
