Femtosecond pulsed laser deposited Er3+-doped zinc-sodium tellurite glass on Si: Thin-film structural and photoluminescence properties
Source abstract
Abstract
We characterise the thin-film structural properties and photoluminescence of femtosecond (40 fs, 800 nm) pulsed laser deposited Er3+-doped zinc-sodium tellurite glass on Si as a function of laser fluence. The laser fluence regime required for the formation of films composed of nanoparticles without droplets is found, the composition and crystallinity of the deposited material is reported and the photoluminescence of the films is characterised in dependence of film thickness.
