Abstract
A comparison is made of different Gaussian refractive index distributions in waveguides formed by thermal diffusion of silver ions into glass. Guides prepared for various diffusion times are investigated. It is shown that only one set of mode indices is insufficient to determine whether some index profile asymmetry exists.
