Abstract
A novel method for studying the dependence of scattering loss on guide structure in integrated-optic semiconductor rib waveguides is presented. The results provide a simple experimental test for determining the nature of the scattering loss. Differences in scattering due to changes in epilayer structure and ribwall slope are also investigated.Keywords
