Abstract
A novel optical waveguide exhibiting a layered core region is proposed . Owing to the original design of the core stack and form birefringenc e in the multilayer, a waveguide supporting both TE and TM lowest-orde r modes with high confinement has been obtained. It has been designed, fabricated, and characterized and presents a modal birefringence grea ter than 0.01, which is in good agreement with the calculated values.
