Abstract

Optical properties of tapered optical fiber deposited with PbS are investigated, which is deposited based on atomic layer deposition technique with Pb(tmhd)2 and H2S as Pb and S precursors. After deposition, morphology of PbS thin film is characterized by a scanning electron microscope, and the composition is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectrum. Raman spectrum shows a typical peak at 204 cm − 1, which is assigned to the influence of the PbS structure, and it further reveals that PbS is deposited on the surface of the tapered optical fiber successfully. With a 980-nm pump laser diode, tapered optical fiber deposited with PbS applied to fiber amplifier exhibits a wide band optical gain at 1550 nm with the largest gain of 5.6 dB.
