  • Abstract
    Low-loss, high- Delta , single-mode channel waveguides having cores of SiO2-Ta2O5 mixture film are successfully fabricated using sputtering and reactive ion-beam etching. Propagation loss is less than 0.6 dB/cm, and no bending loss for 500 mu m curvature radius at 1.3 mu m wavelength is achieved for an optical waveguide having a relative index difference of 5.6%.
