摘要
A photochemical method is described whereby light-guiding structures can be directly written with a focused laser beam in a high silica glass that is initially porous. The process mechanism is exemplified using titanocene dichloride as the visible-light-sensitive compound with which the porous glass is impregnated. Examples of the guiding structure realizable from this method are provided. The refractive index profile produced by the focused Ar ion laser is analyzed, and the limitation of the method is discussed.
