Abstract

Summary form only given. Active waveguide arrays are of particular interest for optical network applications as laser sources and integrated amplifiers. In this paper we report on fabrication procedure and optical characterisation of an active buried-channel waveguide array fabricated on a special erbium-ytterbium-doped phosphate glass by the ion-exchange technique.
