Abstract

We have developed a new pulsed laser deposition method for fabricating Er-doped silicon-rich silicon oxide (SRSO:Er) films. A target composed of a pure Si disk and an Er metal strip was ablated by a line-focused laser beam in oxygen atmosphere. The oxygen concentration that determines the relative concentrations of the three phases (Si-Si, SiOx, and SiO2) in the film was easily controlled by varying the ambient oxygen pressure. The photoluminescence intensity at 1.54 μm from Er3+ ions was strongly dependent on the amount of the Si-Si phase in the SRSO:Er films.
