MPACVD planar waveguide devices with fiber attachment for integrated optic applications

摘要

Optical circuits based on low-loss glass waveguide are a practical and promising approach to integrating different functional components for optical communication systems. Microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPACVD) produces superior quality, low birefringence, low-loss, planar waveguides for integrated optical devices. Fiber attachment technologies provide capability to produce low cost components for practical applications.
