Erbium-doped Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Thin Layers for Photonic Applications

Hybrid integration of unconventional optical materials is arguably a promising way to substantially extend a range of chip functionalities on traditional silicon-based platforms. Especially, functional oxides are very promising because they exhibit many attractive properties, including superconductivity, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, and optical effects. In this article, we demonstrate hybri...
