Abstract
We report a 15-dB amplification and a pump efficiency almost 30 times larger than that reported previously at 1.06 mum in ion-exchanged wave guides. The potassium-sodium exchanged channel guides used in our work were fabricated by thermal diffusion in a 2% Nd3+-doped silicate glas s. Measurements of the refractive index profile in the waveguides, abs orption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetime, and optical g ain are presented.
