Abstract :
Integrated photonics is a promising technology platform for use in space based environments. In this paper we explore the effects of space-like conditions, including temperature, pressure, and exposure to x-rays and gamma rays, on waveguides fabricated in glass by the femtosecond laser direct write technique.
