摘要
Rapid thermal annealing of sputter-deposited chalcogenide glasses is demonstrated to yield superior quality films which are used to fabricate low loss (<0.3 dB/cm) photoinduced channel waveguides in chalcogenide glasses. This process also enhances the photosensitivity and the magnitude of photoinduced index changes possible (Delta n similar to 5%) in these glass systems. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
