Paper Abstract
In this work we present result on the preparation of planar waveguides based on HfO2 and HfO2-SiO$2). Stable sols containing europium and erbium doped HfO2 nanoparticles have been prepared and characterized. The nanosized sol was either deposited on quartz substrates or embedded in (3-glycidoxipropil)trimethoxisilane used as a hybrid host for posterior deposition. The refractive index dispersion and luminescence characteristics were determined for the resulting HfO2 films. The optical parameters of the waveguides such as refractive index, thickness and propagation losses were measured for the hybrid composite. The planar waveguides present thickness of a few micra and support well confined propagating modes.
