Abstract

An optical waveguide amplifier, which can solve the problem of optical attenuation in optical network transmission, is the key technology to solve optical chip integration and optical interconnection. Here, to the best of our knowledge, we propose a novel polymer/silica hybrid waveguide amplifier at 532 nm for the first time. The research is of great significance to the improvement of short distance communication and visible light communication system. The waveguide amplifier was designed as an embedded structure based on ${{\rm NaYF}_4}:{{\rm Er}^{3 +}}$ ${{\rm Yb}^{3 +}}$ nanocrystals, which were synthesized by high-temperature thermal decomposition. When the input signal power was 0.1 mW, and the pump power was 300 mW, a relative gain of 4.3 dB was obtained on an 8 mm waveguide. This result is of great research significance to break the distance limit and make all-optical transmission a reality.
