Abstract
The possibilities of producing waveguide structures in glass using the ion-exchange technique are discussed. The modeling of particular sequ ences of the technological process with respect to planar and strip wa veguide structures as well as refraction profile measurement results f or these waveguides are presented. An exemplary application of this te chnique in the construction of planar sensors is also presented. (C) 1 997 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
