Abstract
Guided light propagation in two-layer LiF/NaF structures grown on glass sub strates is reported for the first time. LiF/NaF based waveguides have been grown at different temperatures. The films texture analysis revealed both t he influence of the underlying NaF buffer layer on the structure of the gui ding LiF film and the importance of the film microstructure on the light pr opagation properties.
