Abstract
Planar waveguide power splitters and directional couplers have been fa bricated in silica using a continuous wave UV laser beam. The performa nce in terms of size, excess loss and spectral response is similar to that obtained with other techniques, while the fabrication time per de vice is a few minutes.
