Abstract

A procedure for the determination of emission and absorption cross sections in integrated waveguides from transversal fluorescence spectra is presented. It is based on an approximate treatment of McCumber's theory, which was demonstrated to provide accurate values for -doped silica fibres. Results on the transition of in waveguides pumped by a 980 nm laser diode are shown and compared to results from attenuation measurements. Advantages over other procedures for waveguide characterization (less dependence on experimental inaccuracies, all measurements are made on the waveguide, consideration of codoping influence and no pump interference around ) are discussed in detail.
