Carbon films prepared by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition were doped by laser active ion Er3+. The characterisation of the layers was performed using Rutherford back scattering spectrometry and elastic recoil detection analysis. Optical properties of the waveguides were measured at 660 run wave lenght using standard prism spectroscopy. The correlation between the layer composition and the content of incorporated erbium and layer optical properties shows very interesting aspects.
