Abstract
The development of silicon compatible optoelectronics would require th e fabrication and integration of several optical functions such as wav eguides, amplifiers, signal processing components and light emitters i n silicon or on thin films deposited on silicon, In this paper the opt ical doping by erbium ion implantation of sodalime silica glass and si licon is presented with the aim to fabricate an amplifier and a light source operating at 1.5 mu m. The materials issues currently limiting the performances of these devices are analyzed in detail and the possi ble future developments are discussed.
