Thin (50 nm) erbium implanted silicon rich oxide films suitable for slot waveguides applications have been produced and studied by means of optical spectroscopy and structural characterisation techniques. Comparison between different deposition techniques in terms of light emitting properties of erbium ions is presented. Special attention is given to the efficiency improvement of the energy transfer from silicon nanoclusters to erbium ions where the type of annealing treatment is proven to be of crucial importance.

Abstract
Thin (50 nm) erbium implanted silicon rich oxide films suitable for slot waveguides applications have been produced and studied by means of optical spectroscopy and structural characterisation techniques. Comparison between different deposition techniques in terms of light emitting properties of erbium ions is presented. Special attention is given to the efficiency improvement of the energy transfer from silicon nanoclusters to erbium ions where the type of annealing treatment is proven to be of crucial importance.
