Abstract
This research focuses on waveguide amplifiers suitable for a number of applications. A silver-ion-exchange technique in waveguide fabrication is used which results in low birefringent waveguides. Two different erbium-doped glasses, a commercial phosphate laser glass developed for silver ion exchange are used as substrates. Finally, the small signal gain of these waveguides is measured by a pump and probe technique using a pump wavelength of 1.48 μm from a Cr:YAG laser.
