Diffusion profiles in ion-exchanged waveguides

Recent observations of quadratic dependence of refractive-index change with depth in waveguides formed on the surface of soda-lime glass by ion exchange with molten silver nitrate are shown to be reasonably consistent with expectations based on the theory of ion-exchange diffusion, assuming a fixed...

Description
Summary:Recent observations of quadratic dependence of refractive-index change with depth in waveguides formed on the surface of soda-lime glass by ion exchange with molten silver nitrate are shown to be reasonably consistent with expectations based on the theory of ion-exchange diffusion, assuming a fixed surface silver concentration.
