The switching speed when triggered by an optical impulse is incredibly fast, within a femtosecond timescale [2]. Erbium (Er3+) with a stimulated emission at the standard telecommunication wave-length of 1535nm has been used extensively in fiber-optic communication systems [3]. The combination of VO2 and Er3+ could make an ultrafast optical switch that is capable of simultaneous signal amplification. In this work, we investigated the possibilities of making such a device, both theoretically and experimentally. Our experimental methods involve temperature-driven optical switching tests and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy on Er3+ implanted VO2 thin films. The observations of the IMT of VO2 and the PL of Er3+ in the thin films would be vital in determining whether the VO2:Er system would work as an optical switch and amplifier. A range of implantation and post-annealing schemes were explored in an attempt to find the optimal processing conditions that would maximize the qualities of the optical switching and PL.","PeriodicalId":136573,"journal":{"name":"COMMAD 2012","volume":"30 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131539290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
