title: Waveguide study and refractive indices of GaN:Mg epitaxial film.
abstract: Waveguide TE and TM modes in a GaN:Mg epitaxial crystalline film were studied in a wide spectral range (457.9-1053 nm). The refractive indices n(e) and n(o) were accurately determined by TM and TE mode measurements at six different wavelengths (457.9, 514.5, 632.8, 724.3, 855.1, and 1053 nm). Dispersive curves of n(e) versus lambda and no versus lambda were obtained. It was found that bireferingence slightly increases (n(e) - n(o) = 0.033-0.038) from 1053 to 457.9 nm.
