Abstract

A new technique is presented for fabricating optical rib waveguides in chalcogenide glasses. As₄₀Se₆₀/Ge₁₇As ₁₈Se₆₅ (at. %) rib waveguides were fabricated in a one-step process by hot pressing two As₄₀Se₆₀ fibers sandwiched between a silicon mold and a planar Ge₁₇As ₁₈Se₆₅ glass substrate, resulting in a series of replicated thin-film rib structures on glass. Optical characterization at λ = 1.55 μm reveals single-mode waveguide propagation, in agreement with numerical modeling.
