Formation of a planar optical waveguide by mega-electron-volt He+ and P+ ions implanted in a BiB(3)O(6) crystal.
What is believed to be the first planar optical waveguide was formed in BiB(3)O(6) (BIBO) crystal by 2.8-MeV He(+)-ion implantation with a dose of 2x10(16)ions/cm (2) and 2.8-MeV P(+)-ion implantation with a dose of 1x10(14)ions/cm (2) at room temperature. We observed 21 darks modes for the He(+)-ion-implanted BIBO waveguides and four dark modes for the P(+)-ion-implanted waveguides. The refractive-index profile of the He(+)-implanted BIBO waveguide was analyzed. The data also suggest that the BIBO waveguides formed by MeV He(+)-ion and P(+)-ion implantation differ in their developing mechanisms.
