Abstract :
A passive 3-branch optical power divider by K+-ion exchange in a soda-lime glass substrate has been fabricated and characterised. The feasibility of control of power distribution by index modifications in the branches has been verified. Experimental results for equal power division are presented. They are in good agreement with those of theoretical design calculations.
