Abstract

We report the fabrication of waveguides using the fiber on glass (FOG) method. Taking advantage of a Thermal Mechanical Analyzer (Shimadzu TMA-50), we were able to produce a new type of waveguide by coupling an erbium doped fiber core onto a planar glass substrate. Both optical fiber core and substrate were fabricated from tellurite glass. Important thermal characteristics of the substrate and fiber like the transition temperature T_g, the temperature for the crystallization onset T_x and the maximum crystallization temperature T_c were determined by Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). The thermal expansion coefficient of the tellurite glass was determined by Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA).
