Abstract We present some recent results obtained by our team in rare earth doped photonic glasses and confined structures, in order to give some highlights regarding the state of art in glass photonics. To evidence the unique properties of transparent glass ceramics we compare spectroscopic and structural properties between the parent glass and the glass ceramics. Starting from planar waveguides we move to spherical microresonators, a very interesting class of photonic confined structures. We also conclude the short review with some remarks about the perspective for glass photonics.

ABSTRACTWith the recent success of using rare-earth doped fluoride crystals as high power visible upconversion lasers, we have explored the use of MBE grown fluoride layers for a possible waveguide laser. By confining the pumped light in a waveguide with dimensions on the order of a few micron, the pump power density will increase promoting higher efficiencies at room temperatures. Initially, we have grown planar waveguides of erbium doped ZnF2 on MgF2 substrates using molecular beam epitaxy and have formed channel waveguides by ion milling. By exciting individual channels with an 800 nm pump, we have generated strong upconversion fluorescence at 410 nm, 550 nm and 670 nm and at numerous weaker peaks. The fabrication techniques can be adapted to semiconductor substrates for making compact diode-pumped visible and infrared lasers. A number of fluoride materials that are useful as laser host crystals are lattice matched to GaAs (100) and GaAs (111) offering the possibility of integrating the channel waveguide laser with the semiconductor diode laser pump source. For example SrF2 may be grown on GaAs (100) as a cladding layer followed by PbF2 doped with a rare-earth ion. Also LaF3 may be grown on GaAs (111) followed by CeF3 doped with a rare-earth ion. Both PbF2 and CeF3 have low phonon energies and a higher index of refraction than their respective lattice matched cladding layers and should be capable of provide an attractive upconversion laser waveguide system. Our initial upconversion luminescence results on erbium doped PbF2 on GaAs (100) using a intervening SrF2 cladding layer are also reported.
