| 简介 |
The present invention relates to a input light signal waveguide amplifier which is comprised of silica or silica-related material co-doped with silicon nanoclusters and rare earth elements, and more particularly, to a pumping light h 100 waveguide amplifier with higher efficiency enhanced by top-pumping method and focusing means for pumping light. The waveguide amplifier of the present invention comprises of : (a) a substrate; (b) an optical waveguide including : a lower cladding layer formed on the substrate; a core layer which is made of silica or silica-related material co-doped with silicon nanoclusters and rare earth elements on the lower cladding layer and has a refractive index higher than that of the lower cladding; and an upper cladding layer formed on the core layer; and (c) a light source, spaced apart from the waveguide, for optically pumping the waveguide, wherein the waveguide amplifier operates by exciting the rare earth elements through electron-hole combinations in the silicon nanoclusters. |
