Abstract
Planar waveguides in which some range of the waveguide was modified by depositing on it a layer of some other dielectric, are called composite optical waveguides. Such a structure is based on a planar waveguide obtained by means of ion exchange K–Na on glass, and covered by an adequately profiled dielectric layer. This kind of structure is of much interest due to considerable possibilities of taking measurements, which may contribute to a further development of the optoelectronic sensor. Especially required are sensor systems in chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and others. Investigations on the properties of composite layers constitute a continuation of investigations concerning the construction of interferometers, which are very sensitive, cheap and easy to be produced.
