We report the optical gain from a-SiN x O y strip-loaded waveguide. The optical gain of 46cm -1 at 525 nm has been determined under top-pumping with He-Cd laser. The luminescent and gain mechanism is mainly attributed to the O-Si-N bond related radiative state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
