    Abstract

    Erbium-doped aluminum oxide amplifiers with varying erbium concentration have been fabricated on thermally oxidized silicon substrates. Significant net internal gain of up to 1.6 dB/cm has been measured at 1533 nm for the optimum Er concentration. Furthermore, net gain has been demonstrated over a wavelength range of 40 nm, including the telecom C-band, demonstrating the potential for amplifiers or tunable lasers on a silicon platform at these critical wavelengths.
