Abstract
The authors have designed, fabricated and characterised singlemode rib optical waveguides at 1.551 mu m with high form birefringence. The co re of the waveguide, which is composed of alternate layers of GaAs and AlAs, propagates both TE00 and TM00 modes with good vertical and late ral confinement, and presents a modal birefringence of > 0.047 at 1.55 mu m. This is an essential step for the conception of acousto and opt oelectronic components on multiquantum well structures.
