dc.description.abstract | Porous materials in general have received great attention from the last century. The development of new porous materials and the preparation of new composites based on porous materials is a subject of interest. The development of porous silicon based optical composite materials opened up new ways of incorporating optically active sol-gel materials into porous silicon. High purity silica optical fibres allow the most rapid and efficient data transmission. The objective of this work is to develop micro-channel glass / porous silicon-rare earth doped xerogel and glass composites, which would serve as compact optical amplifiers and delay line devices. Micro-channel glass / porous silicon-xerogel composites have been prepared by incorporation of sol-gel prepared from tetraethoxysilane, aluminium iso-propoxide and europium chloride into the porous matrix. Both xerogel and glass composites have been studied by various techniques such as FTIR, micro-Raman, photoluminescence spectroscopy, EDX and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). | en |
