Ba ions co-doped SiO-SnO:Er thin films are prepared using a sol-gel method combined with a spin-coating technique and post-annealing treatment. The influence of Ba ion doping on the photoluminescence properties of thin films is carefully investigated. The enhancement of near-infrared (NIR) emission of Er ions by as much as 12 times is obtained co-doping with Ba ions. To illustrate the relevant mechanisms, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and comprehensive spectroscopic measurements are carried out. The enhanced NIR emission induced by Ba co-doping can be explained by more oxygen vacancies, improved crystallinity and strong cross-relaxation processes between Er ions. The incorporation of Ba ions into SiO-SnO:Er thin films results in a considerable enhancement in the NIR emission, making the thin films more suitable for Si-based optical lasers and amplifiers.
采用溶胶-凝胶法结合旋涂技术和后退火处理制备了Ba离子共掺杂的SiO-SnO:Er薄膜。仔细研究了Ba离子掺杂对薄膜光致发光性能的影响。通过与Ba离子共掺杂,获得了Er离子近红外(NIR)发射增强高达12倍的效果。为了阐明相关机制,进行了X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱和综合光谱测量。Ba共掺杂引起的近红外发射增强可以通过更多的氧空位、改善的结晶度以及Er离子之间强烈的交叉弛豫过程来解释。将Ba离子掺入SiO-SnO:Er薄膜中导致近红外发射显著增强,使薄膜更适合用于硅基光学激光器和放大器。
