Abstract

Electron-beam lithography techniques allow realizing channel waveguides based on laser-active color centers in lithium fluoride (LiF) emitting in the visible. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of red light from F₂ defects has been observed in these confining structures: the appreciable values of the gain coefficient, several cm^-1, with an exciting power density of few mW/cm², makes LiF a good candidate for the realization of active integrated optical devices.
