| 摘要 |
In accordance with the invention a planar waveguide device is fabricated by providing a substrate with an undercladding, depositing a particulate layer of core glass on the undercladding, consolidating the particulate layer by low temperature viscous sintering, patterning the consolidated layer to form an optical waveguide and applying an overcladding. The glass layers can be deposited quickly and economically by slurry dipping, centrifuging or electrophoresis. In a preferred embodiment the substrate is silicon, and the core glass is sodium-boro-silicate.
