Funded Activity Summary

Identification of optically efficient erbium centres in silicon. An efficient and economical light source, an essential component for silicon integrated photonics, is still missing. This project aims to identify optically efficient erbium centres in silicon materials that are compatible with the cost-effective silicon integration technology. This project also aims to advance the microscopic study of erbium in silicon to a single-atom level and establish the essential link for optimising light emission between the microscopic structure and the optical transition. The expected outcomes are optically efficient erbium centres in silicon, which will speed up the material optimisation process and advance the development of silicon integrated photonics in Australia.
