Abstract

The invention relates to a strip-shaped optical waveguide amplifier by adopting a novel organic polymer material as an optical waveguide envelope, and adopting an organic-inorganic hybrid material doped with LaF3: Er, Yb nano-particles which are modified by an oleic acid surface as a sandwich layer, as well as the preparation method thereof. The optical waveguide amplifier is composed of a silicon substrate, a lower envelope, the sandwich layer and an upper envelope, wherein the lower envelope and the upper envelope adopt the novel organic polymer material; the sandwich layer adopts the organic-inorganic hybrid material doped with the LaF3:Er, Yb nano-particles which are modified by the oleic acid surface; the refractive index of the sandwich layer is larger than the refractive index of the lower envelope and the upper envelope; a plurality of strip-shaped waveguide grooves are formed on the lower envelope; the strip-shaped waveguide grooves are filled with the organic-inorganic composite materials of the sandwich layer, so as to form a buried structure. The method for making the optical waveguide amplifier is simple; the refractive index difference between the polymer sandwich layer and the envelope material is easy to control; and the thickness of each layer of material is easy to control. The optical waveguide amplifier has the advantages of low cost, good gain performance and high yield, and is suitable for mass production.
