Single-Step Buried Waveguides in Glass by Field Assisted Copper Ion Exchange

• Symmetric profile buried waveguides can be fabricated in glass by single-step electromigration of Cu2+ ions from thin solid films. The theory of this process is given. The controllable process needs a molten multi-ionic anode to keep the glass surface background composition unchanged.
