Non-selective area doping of rare-earth material with co-doping / Yap Yen

In this dissertation, erbium/aluminium (Er/Al) and erbium/ytterbium (Er/Yb) codoped on silica-on-silicon waveguide films were fabricated by flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) via solution doping. Based on the morphology and microstructure observations, the layers pre-sintered around 800˚C provide the...
