Abstract

Light emission at 1.54 μm from an Er-doped amorphous silicon nitride layer coupled to photonic crystal resonators at cryogenic and room temperatures and under varying optical pump powers has been studied. The results demonstrate that small mode volume, high quality factor resonators enhance Er absorption and emission rates at the cavity resonance. Time resolved measurements give 11- to 17-fold Purcell enhancement of spontaneous emission at cryogenic temperatures, and 2.4-fold enhancement at room temperature. Resonances exhibit linewidth narrowing with pump power, signifying absorption bleaching and partial inversion of the Er ions cryogenic temperatures. We estimate that 31% of Er ions are excited at the highest pump power.

Fig. 2. (a) Normalized spectra of PC cavities at temperatures of 6 K (magenta, blue) and 90 K (red). For 6 K the spectra taken at low pump power of 0.11 mW (blue) and high pump power of 30.3 mW (magenta) are shown, demonstrating line-width narrowing with increasing pump power. The solid lines are Lorentzian fits used to determine cavity Qs (9,000 at 0.11 mW-pump at 6K, 13,300 at 30.3 mW at 6K, and 16,000 at 90K).

Different colors show the wavelengths and Qs of individual cavities with varying temperature. The points along each line are taken at the same intermediate temperatures as in Fig. 3(a) for the PC cavity. (b) Change in Q as the pump power is switched from 0.050 mW to 30 mW for a number of PC cavities measured at temperatures from 6 K to 290 K. (c) Q for micro-ring cavities as temperature is increased from 6 K to 290 K. The points along each line are taken at the same intermediate temperatures as in Fig. 3(a) for the micro-ring cavity.

(c) PL decay at 3.1K from PC cavity off resonance, unpatterned film, and PC cavity resonance. (d) Time constants from bi-exponential fits to PC cavity resonance decays taken with pump powers varying from 2 mW to 30 mW.
