We report low-loss, single-mode rib optical waveguides on-chip, fabricated using hot-embossing for the first time of radio-frequency sputteredchalcogenide-glass thin films on a chalcogenide-glass substrate. Waveguides 4–6wide andhigh are fabricated. Waveguide optical loss, using the Fabry–Perot technique, which is known to over-estimate loss, is found to be0.78for the TE mode, and0.81for the TM mode, at 1,550 nm wavelength. Glass stability of the chalcogenide rib waveguides is excellent and is discussed in relation to the results of others.
