Tóm tắt

Thin films of Corning 7059, glass doped with CdS (2%–4% by weight) microcrystallites, with diameters presumably larger than 6 nm, were fabricated using rf sputtering technique. Sharp optical cutoff near 500 nm is visible on the absorption spectra of the films. Both Raman and absorption spectra presumably reveal the presence of size effects. At λ=632.8 nm the refractive index of the films varies from 1.55 to 1.69 depending on rf power. Propagation losses for TE0 guided mode are about 10 dB/cm.
