Abstract:
We demonstrate erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers (EDWAs) composed of polymer and Er(exp 3+):Al2O3 films grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD). These amplifiers exhibit remarkable on-chip net gain of 18 dB and output power of 8.1 dBm, marking a significant milestone for ALD-based EDWAs for practical applications.
