Abstract
Both SIMS and RBS techniques are used to obtain smooth accurate concen tration profiles of silver diffused into soda-lime glass systems. By a computer simulation, a combination of the two techniques enables more detailed information to be obtained on the silver distribution at a d epth of up to several micrometres, and the concentration profiles can be used effectively for testing the reliability of some optical behavi our characterizations of glass waveguiding structures.
