Description

We applied Er2O3 nanoparticles, P2O5 particles, and spin-on-glass (SOG) solution to form erbium-doped silica thin films exhibiting photoluminescence at 1530 nm. We further investigated the annealing condition and composition of the spin-coated film. The addition of P2O5 improved PL peak intensity of the erbium-doped film fivefold. The weight ratio of Er2O3 nanoparticles to P2O5 particles in the SOG was found to be 0.54 for efficient light emission.
