将稀土配合物Eu(DBM)(3)(Phen)和Er(DBM)(3)(Phen)用作热压成型聚合物沟道波导器件的发光掺杂剂。详细研究了该配合物作为波导芯聚合物的掺杂剂的光谱性质。计算了配合物的Judd-Ofet参数，确定了配合物的辐射性质。光学放大的潜力。通过单层压花制作的通道光波导能够引导掺杂后发出的可见光和红外光。采用多层单步模压工艺制作了多层聚合物微光学平台，该平台结合了掺杂通道光波导和用于光纤自对准和集成的无源定位特性，并成功地耦合了波导中的掺杂剂发射。(C)2006爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Lanthanide complexes, Eu(dbM)(3)(Phen) and Er(dbM)(3)(Phen), are employed as luminescent dopants within polymer channel waveguide devices fabricated by hot embossing. Spectroscopic properties of the complexes as dopants in the waveguide core polymer are investigated in detail. Judd-Ofelt parameters are calculated for the europium chelate and radiative properties are determined viz. potential for optical amplification. Channel waveguides fabricated by single level embossing are shown to be capable of guiding visible and infrared light emitted following optical excitation of the dopants. Multi-level polymer micro-optical benches incorporating doped channel waveguides and passive locational features for self-alignment and integration of optical fibres are fabricated in a multi-level single-step embossing process and are shown to successfully out-couple the waveguided dopant emission.
