Popis: The effective cross section for photoluminescence (PL) excitation and lifetime of erbium ions in an excited state have been determined in Si:Er/Si/Si:Er/Si.../Si structures fabricated by sublimation molecular beam epitaxy. The obtained results show that a considerable enhancement of PL intensity from erbium ions in selectively doped silicon, compared with that doped uniformly, is not related to changes in the radiative lifetime, effective cross section for excitation, or lifetime of erbium ions in the excited state.
