Finally, as the Er host materials developed in this work are based on GaAssubstrates, they provide (when integrated with the proposed VIP excitation scheme) aunique advantage over other candidate hosts in their potential for achievingmonolithically-pumped Er-doped optical devices of greatly reduced size and cost, pavingthe way for a possible future revolution in more agile optical networks, compact lasersfor range finding, sensors and other applications. cache/h128nc6065g.txt txt/h128nc6065g.txt
