Abstract
An experimental analysis of graded-index (GRIN) planar waveguides prod uced by ion exchange in soda-lime glass is presented. This study is ba sed on a recent model describing nonlinear diffusion. Likewise the mod al coupling between planar waveguides, produced in the same substrate, is analyzed in order to design efficient integrated optical component s. Finally, waveguiding structures induced by Kerr effect in glass are proposed and analyzed.
