Abstract

The feasibility of using diffusion methods for fabricating waveguides for the mid-IR and press-flattened fibers for fabricating strip buried waveguides are demonstrated. Though, the applications of these guides are still limited by the relatively high propagation loss. Still, the preliminary planar waveguides prepared showed promising properties for future use in a verity of applications like waveguides, Y couplers, multiplexers and other passive components.
