Abstract
An accurate analysis of optical waveguides made by Na-K ion exchange in glass is presented. A strict correlation between surface index change, guide birefringence, surface stress, and relaxation as a function of time and temperature is demonstrated.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
