摘要 |
The present invention includes a method of growing a doped glass films suitable for optical applications on a substrate comprising the steps of conveying an organometallic compound of the formula (R3SiO)jM(OR')k to the substrate and reacting the silica forming substance and the organometallic compound to form the optical layer on the substrate, where M is a metal; R is methyl, ethyl or propyl; R' is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl or s-butyl; j is 1, 2, 3 or 4; and k=4-j. The present invention also includes planar optical devices made by the above method. Additionally, the present invention includes an optical fiber made by the above method.
