摘要
Following the demonstration of room-temperature luminescence, Er2O3 has been explored as a high-gain medium for ultra-compact waveguide amplifiers. With sputtered and annealed films, we measure three radiative lifetimes (7 ms, 0.8 ms, and 0.5 ms) and upconversion coefficients at 4.2 K. We have correlated these measurements with three crystalline phases: the thermodynamically stable bcc phase and the metastable fcc and hcp phases. The 7-ms lifetime is correlated with the fcc phase, implying the metastable crystal state has a profound influence on inhibiting upconversion interaction between neighbor Er atoms. Measurements indicate optical gain >3 dB/cm is possible.
