Abstract

We report the properties of thermally evaporated Ge_11.5As₂₄Se_64.5 chalcogenide films ion implanted at energies of 2.25MeV with Erbium at concentrations up to 0.4 mol%. The effect of post implant annealing on the refractive index of the films and on the ⁴I₁₃/2→ ⁴I₁₅/2 Er transition was studied. Photoluminescence was found to increase significantly and a lifetime of 1.35 ms was obtained in films annealed at 180^oC. Different apparent lifetimes for the ⁴I₁₃/2→ ⁴I₁₅/2 transition were obtained for 980nm and 1470nm pumps and the origins of this phenomenon are discussed.
