摘要：

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Er-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Er) thin films were formed by pulsed laser deposition, and characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in order to clarify the 1.54 mu m emission mechanism in the ZnO:Er films. Er ions were excited indirectly by the 325 nm line of a He-Cd laser, and the comparison of the ultraviolet to infrared PL data of ZnO and ZnO:Er films showed that the 1.54 mu m emission of Er3+ in ZnO:Er film appears at the expense of the band edge emission and the defect emission of ZnO. The crystallinity of the films was varied with the substrate temperature and post-annealing, and it was found that the intensity of the 1.54 mu m emission is strongly related with the crystallinity of the films. There are three processes leading to the 1.54 mu m emission; absorption of excitation energy by the ZnO host, energy transfer from ZnO to Er ions, and radiative relaxation inside Er ions, and it is suggested that the crystallinity plays an important role in the first two processes.
