Absorption of Low Loss Polymer Composite Optical Waveguide

Abstract:

This study investigated the absorption spectra of rare earth metal (REM) doped polymer composite material, specifically Europium Aluminum-doped Benzyl Methacrylate (Eu-Al/BzMA), which were ascertained from a 0.56-cm bulk sample. The results revealed the most intense peak at 395 nm induced by the Eu3+ ion absorption. Under 350-nm UV light excitation, Eu-Al/BzMA exhibited sharp red emission at 617 nm corresponding to the 5D₀→7F₂ transition. The absorption cross sections were determined as 5.62 × 10-22 cm2 for the signal and 6.1 × 10-22 cm2 for the pump. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Eu-Al/BzMA is a promising gain medium for highly efficient active devices in visible-range applications.
