Low-loss single-mode integrated waveguides in soda-lime glass

Abstract: Low-loss single-mode optical waveguide fabrication process in extra-white soda-lime glass is demonstrated. Waveguiding structures are formed in bulk substrates employing femtosecond laser writing technology. The combination of a slit beam-shaping method and a multiscan fabrication process enables printing of waveguides with a well-defined symmetric cross-section profile. Fabricated waveguides exhibit 0.86 dB/cm propagation loss for 800~nm wavelength. Bending loss in the waveguides are addressed experimentally … Show more

“…To achieve uniform modification the polarization of the impinging writing beam is oriented parallel to the waveguide writing direction, and the sample is translated along the focal spot at a moderate feed rate of 0.5 mm/s. The details of our fabrication setup may be found in [21]. The birefringence axis of the waveguide is oriented perpendicular to the sample surface.…”

“…The repetition rate of laser pulses creating waveguides was chosen 1 MHz, the pulse length -400 fs, the average radiation power -82 mW. The laser output was frequency doubled to meet optimal focusing conditions with a Mitutoyo Plan APO 100X microscope objective [38]. The two bending zones have a total length of 7.2 mm, which determines the maximum length 4.6 mm of the interaction zone between the cavity and waveguide.…”
