Propagation losses in a potassium-ion-exchanged waveguide with a superstrate

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The influence of the refractive index of a superstrate on propagation losses of an optical waveguide is measured. A 72-cm-long channel waveguide is made by potassium ion exchange in microscope slides. Propagation losses are reduced from 0.4 dB/cm with air as the superstrate to 0.28 dB/cm with a liquid superstrate of refractive index 1.46.
