Abstract
The first planar optical waveguide was formed in neodymium sodium yttrium t ungstate (Nd:NaY(WO4)(2)) crystal by 2.6 MeV He+ ion implantation at a dose of 1.5 x 10(16) ions/cm(2) at room temperature. The dark modes were measur ed using the prism-coupling method. The refractive index profiles were anal yzed using the reflectivity calculation method (RCM). TRIM'98 (transport of ions in matter) code was used to simulate the damage profile in Nd:NaY(WO4 )(2) by 2.6 MeV He+ ion implantation. The fluorescence spectrum of the samp le was measured.
