ABSTRACT |
Silica based Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLC) have been applied to various kinds of wave-guided optical passive devices. SiO$_2$ (buffer) and GeO$_2$-SiO$_2$ (core) thick films have been deposited by Flame Hydrolysis Deposition (FHD). The SiO$_2$ films were produced by the flame hydrolysis reaction of halide materials such as SiCl$_4$, POCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$ into an oxy-hydrogen torch. The P concentration increased from 2.0 to 2.8 at% on increasing the POCl$_3$/BCl$_3$ flow ratio. The refractive index increased from 1.4584 to 1.4605 on increasing the POC1$_3$/BC1$_3$ flow ratio from 0.6 to 2.6. The refractive index of GeO$_2$-SiO$_2$ films was controlled by the GeCl$_4$ flow rate. The refractive index increased from 1.4615 to 1.4809 on increasing the GeCl$_4$ flow rate from 30 to 120 sccm. |
