Abstract

Single-mode-fiber-matched glassed based waveguide is manufactured by silver/sodium ion-exchange, and field-assisted ion-diffusion subsequently, in specially melted sodium-rich silicate glass substrate of optical quality. Propagation loss and coupling loss respectively of ~0.10dB and 0.20~0.30dB/facet is achieved, based on this process, integrated optic 1×8 power splitter has been fabricated, with insertion loss (IL) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) being respectively lower than 11.0dB and 0.1dB, over wavelength range of 1520~1570nm.

Keywords
