Planar waveguides in ZBLAN fabricated by He ion implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single and double planar waveguides were fabricated by 2 MeV and 4 MeV He implantation in ZBLAN. Calculation of ion implantation parameters, cut-off wavelength measurement and near-field detection indicate that ∆n is negative, typically -1x10. 1999 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3130) Integrated optics materials; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar.

1.1-MeV proton-implanted sapphre waveguides are investigated for the first time. Optical measurements show that the planar waveguides support low-order transverse-mode propagation with good guiding properties without the need to anneal the samples.

Ion implantation in optical materials is increasingly used in fabrication of optical waveguides of micrometric dimensions. Implantation has been proved to form planar and channel waveguides in YAG single crystals [1, 2]. Planar waveguides are obtained by homogeneous irradiation of the crystal surface with He or H ions at a given energy (in the MeV range), while mask technique has to be used to ...
متن کاملDesignable buried waveguides in sapphire by proton implantation
Buried and stacked planar as well as buried single and parallel channel waveguides are fabricated in sapphire by proton implantation. Good control of the implantation parameters provides excellent confinement of the guided light in each structure. Low propagation losses are obtained in fundamental-mode, buried channel waveguides without postimplantation annealing. Choice of the implantation par...
متن کاملOptical Filters Utilizing Ion Implanted Bragg Gratings in SOI Waveguides
The refractive index modulation associated with the implantation of oxygen or silicon into waveguides formed in silicon-oninsulator (SOI) has been investigated to determine the feasibility of producing planar, implantation induced Bragg grating optical filters. A two-dimensional coupled mode theory-based simulation suggests that relatively short grating lengths, on the order of a thousand micro...
متن کاملRecent achievements in LiNbO3 waveguides fabricated by swift heavy ion irradiation
Optical waveguides having some unique characteritics can be fabricated in Lithium niobate using high energy heavy ions. High optical confinement or very thick optical waveguides can be obtained using moderate (10 cm) or even ultralow (10 cm) fluences. The method has also been applied to other crystals of photonic interest. We present a review of the recent achievements obtained. Lithium niobate...
