Fabrication and Experimental Techniques in Integrated Optics.
Abstract
A program to investigate the characteristics of integrated optical components, coupling between optical waveguides and other optical components and waveguide fabrication technology was initiated in February 20, 1981 for Naval Avionics Center under contract N00163 81 M 1798. The work performed under this contract is summarized in this report. The Navy technical monitor was Dr. K. J. Jones. A coupling measurement system was modified and improved. Numerical techniques for computing the refractive index and the thickness of the optical films from the experimental data are discussed. Techniques based on optical fibers and TV cameras for measuring the waveguide attenuation, and techniques related to end-fire coupling and near infrared radiation are considered. Methods for fabricating solution-deposited waveguides and waveguides on glass, lithium niobate and lithium tantalate substrates are also reviewed. (Author)
