EnglishThis paper describes and compares the local environments of Er3+ ions in pure SiO2, SiO2-Al2O3, SiO2-TiO2, and SiO2-HfO2, glasses, and in SiO2-HfO2 glass-ceramic waveguiding systems. This structural information is useful for selecting waveguides with optimised functional properties. This comparison has emphasised the peculiarity of the SiO2-HfO2 glass, in which the Er3+ ions are incorporated in HfO2-rich regions. By appropriate heat treatment, a transformation of SiO2-HfO2 system from glass to glass-ceramic occurs, where Er3+ remains incorporated in HfO2 nanocrystals as substituent of Hf4+. The spectroscopic interpretations are coherent with the present structural results.

This structural information is useful for selecting waveguides with optimised functional properties. This comparison has emphasised the peculiarity of the SiO2-HfO2 glass, in which the Er3+ ions are incorporated in HfO2-rich regions. By appropriate heat treatment, a transformation of SiO2-HfO2 system from glass to glass-ceramic occurs, where Er3+ remains incorporated in HfO2 nanocrystals as substituent of Hf4+.
