Thickness-dependent optimization of Er<sup>3+ </sup>light emission from silicon-rich silicon oxide thin films

<p>Abstract</p> <p>This study investigates the influence of the film thickness on the silicon-excess-mediated sensitization of Erbium ions in Si-rich silica. The Er<sup>3+ </sup>photoluminescence at 1.5 &#956;m, normalized to the film thickness, was found five times...
