摘要
In this letter, we report on the detailed refractive index distribution of optical waveguides induced by electron-beam irradiation of Ge-doped flame hydrolysis silica and its variation with dose. The characterization was performed using microreflectivity measurements. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
