| In this paper the influence of the heating processes on modal attenuation distribution in planar gradient waveguides produced by ion exchange method in soda-lime glass-Ag+ admixture arrangement is presented. The influence of heating processes on modal attenuation distribution in dependence on preliminary refractive profile shape was analysed. Numerical simulations were based on experimentally gained thermal diffusion coefficients of the exchanged ions. |
