title: Birefringence control in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition planar waveguides by ultraviolet irradiation.
abstract: Complete birefringence compensation is demonstrated in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition waveguides by 193-nm postexposure. A single relaxation process dominates the decay in stress anisotropy, indicating that compressive stress from the substrate leads to an elastic stress anisotropy at the core.
