F. Chen et al., Property studies of optical waveguide formed by MeV He+ ion implanted intoNd : NaY(WO4)(2) crystal, APPL SURF S, 181(1-2), 2001, pp. 145-148
The first planar optical waveguide was formed in neodymium sodium yttrium t
ungstate (Nd:NaY(WO4)(2)) crystal by 2.6 MeV He+ ion implantation at a dose
of 1.5 x 10(16) ions/cm(2) at room temperature. The dark modes were measur
ed using the prism-coupling method. The refractive index profiles were anal
yzed using the reflectivity calculation method (RCM). TRIM'98 (transport of
ions in matter) code was used to simulate the damage profile in Nd:NaY(WO4
)(2) by 2.6 MeV He+ ion implantation. The fluorescence spectrum of the samp
le was measured. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
