OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES FORMED IN GLASS-CERAMIC MATERIALS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

Optical waveguides are fabricated in glass-ceramic materials utilizing an ion-exchange process to pattern the waveguide at a temperature below the ceramming temperature of the glass-ceramic material. The optical waveguides may include optically-active dopants dispersed preferably within the crystall...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Optical waveguides are fabricated in glass-ceramic materials utilizing an ion-exchange process to pattern the waveguide at a temperature below the ceramming temperature of the glass-ceramic material. The optical waveguides may include optically-active dopants dispersed preferably within the crystallite phase of the glass-ceramic material. L'invention concerne des guides d'ondes optiques fabriqués à partir de matériaux vitrocéramiques par un procédé d'échange d'ions afin de modéliser les guides d'ondes à une température inférieure à la température de céramisation du matériau vitrocéramique. Les guides d'ondes optiques de l'invention peuvent comprendre des agents dopants actifs sur le plan optique dispersés de préférence dans la phase de cristallite du matériau vitrocéramique.
