Research is proposed for the study of optical waveguides fabricated by low- energy electron irradiation of silica-based glasses. Recent work has demonstrated that the refractive index increase resulting from irradiation may be used to fabricate low-loss optical waveguides. The objectives of this research will be the characterization of structural changes in the glass, measurement of optical properties of the irradiated material, and application of the technology to the fabrication of active and passive waveguide components.

提出了低能电子辐照硅基玻璃制备光波导的研究方向。最近的工作表明，辐射引起的折射率增加可以用来制作低损耗光波导。这项研究的目的将是表征玻璃的结构变化，测量辐照材料的光学性质，以及该技术在有源和无源波导组件制造中的应用。
