Abstract

Abstract The Yb:Er co-doped Al2O3 thin film was deposited on oxidized silicon wafers by microwave ECR plasma source enhanced RF magnetron sputtering, and annealed from 800 °C to 1000 °C. The photoluminescence at 1.53 μm of thin film was obtained under room temperature. The mixture phase structure of γ and θ is observed by XRD, and the compositions of the thin film are investigated by EPMA. The maximum PL intensity was achieved with O2:Ar at 1:1, annealing temperature at 900 °C, and experimental ratio of Yb:Er at 1:3.6. The energy transfer mechanism between Er and Yb ions is supported by theoretical analysis and experiment results.
