We report on the micron-luminescent properties of carbon ion implanted optical channel waveguides in the Nd:MgO:LiNbO(3) laser crystals. The confocal fluorescence images of the waveguide's cross section are presented based on the analysis of the spatial variation of the Nd(3+) fluorescence properties. We have found that the carbon ion implanted waveguides exhibit hybrid fluorescence properties of both hydrogen and oxygen ion implanted waveguides, which clearly denotes a "boundary" effect of light and heavy ions for waveguide formation in lithium niobate crystals.
我们报道了碳离子注入的Nd:MgO:LiNbO(3)激光晶体中光学通道波导的微米级发光特性。基于对Nd(3+)荧光特性空间变化的分析,给出了波导横截面的共焦荧光图像。我们发现,碳离子注入的波导呈现出氢和氧离子注入波导的混合荧光特性,这清楚地表明了在铌酸锂晶体中形成波导时轻离子和重离子的“边界”效应。
