The aim of this work is to develop and to test material and technological solution for the preparation of planar and channel
optical waveguides in substrates made of special glasses using the Li⁺ ↔ Na⁺ ion exchange. This method should ensure wide
parameter variability and low losses to these waveguides. We paid special attention to relations between the technological
parameters of the preparation process and final waveguide properties. |
