Ridge waveguides in Yb3+-doped silicate glass fabricated by combination of proton implantation and femtosecond laser ablation
Ridge waveguides were fabricated in Yb ^3+ -doped silicate glass by proton implantation combined with the femtosecond laser ablation. The Yb ^3+ -doped silicate glass were implanted by H ^+ ions with the double-energy (470 keV + 500 keV) at a total dose of 3 × 10 ^16 ions cm ^−2 for the formation of...

| description | Ridge waveguides were fabricated in Yb ^3+ -doped silicate glass by proton implantation combined with the femtosecond laser ablation. The Yb ^3+ -doped silicate glass were implanted by H ^+ ions with the double-energy (470 keV + 500 keV) at a total dose of 3 × 10 ^16 ions cm ^−2 for the formation of planar waveguides. After annealing at 260 °C, the double-line modification tracks, which provide lateral confinement of light to form ridge waveguide structures, were inscribed on the surface of sample with 3 μ J pulse laser energy, 50 μ m s ^−1 scan speed, and 25 μ m separation. The vacancy distribution of the original planar waveguide structure induced by the proton implantation was numerically calculated by the SRIM 2013. The near-field intensity distribution of the waveguide was measured by the end-face coupling system, which shows that the light can be well confined in the ridge waveguide. The micro-fluorescence features have been found well preserved in the waveguide region. This work indicates that the ridge waveguide fabricated by laser ablation assisted proton implantation in Yb ^3+ -doped silicate glass has an important potential as an active waveguide device in optical fiber communication and all-optical communication. |
