Selective growth and optical properties of sputtered BaTiO3films
2000
we report the growth of BaTiO 3 thin films by standard Radio Frequency sputtering. Without any in situ or post annealing, these polycristalline films are oriented relative to the substrate even when it is amorphous. We show that this preferential orientation may be monitored using a DC Bias during the film growth. At room temperature, cubic films of (100) and (110) orientations have been achieved, on fused silica substrate. Some optical waveguiding properties of these films have been studied. The resulting film index is 2.26 and the optical step index at the substrate interface is sharp. This allows the use of standard RF sputtering techniques to monitor oriented BaTiO 3 films for linear op…
Two-wave mixing at 854 nm in BaTiO3:Rh planar waveguide implanted with He+
2001
Abstract Guided waves at 854 nm are observed in a BaTiO 3 :Rh waveguide fabricated by the technique of ion-beam implantation. The photorefractive interaction between two guided modes is demonstrated and characterized. The experiments reveal that the gain direction is reversed in the guiding layer in comparison with that in the bulk. A maximum gain of 24 cm −1 is achieved.
