Structure and Waveguide Properties of Sol-Gel Derived Gd2O3 Films

Pure and rare earth doped gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) waveguide films were prepared by a simple sol-gel process and dip-coating method. Structure of Gd2O3 films annealed at different temperature was investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Oriented growth of (400) face of Gd2O3 has been observed when the films were deposited on amorphous substrate. The refractive index and thickness of films were determined by m-lines spectroscopy. The laser beam (λ= 632.8 nm) was coupled into the film by a prism coupler and the propagation length is about 3.5 cm. Luminescence properties of europium ions doped films were measured by waveguide fluorescence spectroscopy, which shows disordered environment for Eu^3 at 400℃.     

Preparation,Structural Analysis and Luminescence Properties of Nanocrystalline Phosphor Gd2O3∶Eu

Nanocrystalline monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu with different Eu3 concentration were prepared using glycine-nitrate combustion synthesis. By changing the ratio of glycine to nitrate and proper heat treatment, pure monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu with particle size less than 40 nm can be easily formed. Under ultraviolet excitation, main emission of Eu3 (5D0→7F2) locates at 624 nm in monoclinic Gd2O3∶Eu and 611 nm in cubic sample. In excitation spectrum two broad bands corresponding to the host absorption and charge transfer state(CTS) and f-f transitions of Gd3 and Eu3 were observed and discussed. The quenching concentration of monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu is 10% and 15%, respectively, both of which are much higher than that of bulk Gd2O3∶Eu.     

Er^3＋ Doped BaTiO30ptical-Waveguide Thin Films Elaborated by Sol-Gel Method

Erbium doped BaTiO3 optical-waveguide films on Pyrex substrate was elaborated successfully through sol-gel method. BaTiO3 is well crystallized when the film is annealed at 650℃ in air circumstance. The so-prepared films with 13 layers have comparatively lower refractive index than bulk BaTiO3, and it can support two TM and TE modes. Photoluminescence and up-conversion luminescence spectra proved the successful doping of rare earth ions.

Preparation and Characterization of Sol-Gel Derived Au Nanoparticle Dispersed Y2O3：Eu Films

Gold nanoparticles dispersed Y2O3 films were prepared through a sol-gel method by using yttrium acetate and Au nanoparticles colloid as precursors. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and UV-VIS absorption spectra. XRD patterns and TEM images of Y2O3 ＋ Au films give the same resuits on structure and particle size as that of pure Y2O3 films. The surface plasma resonance （SPR） of Au nanoparticles in Y2O3 ＋ Au film was observed around 550 nm in the absorption spectrum and its position shifts to red with increasing annealing temperature is caused by the increase of dielectric constant of Y2O3 matrix and the size of Au nanoparticles. The second and third order nonlinear optical effects of Y2O3 ＋ Au films were also observed. The photoluminescent properties of Y2O3 ： Eu ＋ Au films were investigated and results indicate that there exist an energy transfer from Eu^3 ＋ to Au nanoparticles and this energy transfer decreases the emission of Eu^3 ＋ in Y2O3 ： Eu ＋ Au film.
