Abstract
We report on an optical signal amplifier based on an Er:MgO-doped near stoichiometric lithium niobate (Er:MgO:SLN) waveguide. The Er:MgO:SLN waveguide was fabricated using swift carbon ion irradiation combined with precision diamond blade dicing. Under 980Â nm laser pumping, the waveguide provides a 2.13Â dB/cm gain at 1536Â nm, 1.49Â dB/cm gain at 1552Â nm, and 1.37Â dB/cm gain at 1565Â nm, with the pumping power of 99.5Â mW. This work demonstrates the potential application of swift ion irradiated Er:MgO:SLN waveguides for the optical amplifiers in the C communication band.
