Abstract

We designed and fabricated integrated optical amplifiers with 20 dB of gain at λ = 1532 nm. Aluminum-oxide films with erbium concentrations of 0.45−3.1×10^20 cm^-3 were deposited onto thermally oxidized silicon wafers and microstructured. For a 24.5-cm-long spiral-shaped amplifier with an erbium concentration of 0.95×10^20 cm^-3, a maximum internal net gain of ~20 dB was measured.
