摘要

Two dimensional refractive index profiles of ion exchanged channel waveguides in glass have been measured using an interferometric method. In order to obtain depth data, a shallow bevel is produced in the glass by polishing. A regularization algorithm for the extraction of the phase data from the interferometer image is presented. The method is applied to waveguides formed by the electric field assisted diffusion of Cu+ ions into a borosilicate glass. The index change obtained from the interferometer is in good agreement with that obtained from measurements on planar waveguides.
