Title: Rare-earth spontaneous emission control in three-dimensional lithium niobate photonic crystals
Author(s): Rodenas, Airan; Zhou, Guangyong; Jaque, Daniel; Gu, Min
Abstract: Spontaneous emission inhibition of erbium ions at 1.5 µm wavelength is obtained by tailoring direct femtosecond-laser-written 3D photonic structures inside lithium niobate laser crystals. This technique allows for engineering of the structure symmetry and filling fraction by spatially inscribing laser-induced amorphous voxels inside the crystalline sample.
