Optically controlled planar waveguides made of photochromic glass

G. T. Petrovskiĭ, K. A. Agafonova, A. V. Mishin, N. V. Nikonorov

Abstract: A description is given of planar optical waveguides formed in photochromic glass by the method of ion exchange in AgNO₃–NaNO₃, KNO₃, and Li₂SO₄–Na₂SO₄–ZnSO₄ melts. Reversible photoinduced changes in the intensity of the guided light were observed. Waveguides of this kind should be suitable for integrated optics systems.
