Sp. Pogossian et al., THE CONCEPT OF QUASI-DISCRETE LEVELS FOR ION-IMPLANTED WAVE-GUIDES, Applied physics. A, Solids and surfaces, 56(5), 1993, pp. 449-451
In this paper, we introduce the concept of quasi-stationary states for
ion-implanted waveguides. It can be employed for a certain range of i
mplanted barrier parameters. It is shown that for a rather large thick
ness of the barrier, the waveguide modes can be regarded as quasi-disc
rete lines with some widths. In order to estimate these widths the ref
ractive index profile has been modelled by a four-layer step index fun
ction.
