In Situ Two‐Dimensional Residual Stress Characterization of Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An integrated in situ curvature metrology platform combining speckle‐based curvature optical metrology (SCOM) with multi‐beam optical sensors (MOS) enables spatially resolved two‐dimensional curvature mapping of thick sputtered coatings. The SCOM technique provides excellent agreement with MOS while providing an extended measurable curvature range ...

1.5 µm Emission Properties of Erbium‐Implanted Thin‐Film Lithium Niobate

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optically active Er3+ ions are incorporated into x‐cut lithium niobate on insulator utilising a focused ion‐beam implantation method capable of sub‐100 nm precision. The implanted regions exhibit telecom‐band emission, with a reduction in photoluminescence intensity and lifetime below 50 K, consistent with pyroelectric‐field effects in the host ...
