M. Tschanz et al., TRANSMISSION MODULATION OF A SINGLE-MODE PLANAR WAVE-GUIDE BY SPECTRAL HOLE-BURNING, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 283, 1996, pp. 43-50
We investigate persistent spectral hole burning (SHE) in a 120-nm-thic
k polymer film doped with chlorin molecules superimposed as a cover la
yer on a commercial single-mode planar glass waveguide. Transmission s
pectral holes and time-domain picosecond pulse propagation is studied
by excitation via the evanescent part of the guided TEO-mode at liquid
-helium temperature. We show that single-mode waveguide with SHE cover
layer can act as integrated sub-gigahertz narrow-band filter.
