  • Abstract
    The fabrication and optical properties of reactive ion-etched, totally reflecting mirrors for single-mode GaAs rib waveguides are described. Low loss and orientation independance make the device useful in integrated optics, in order to increase packing density and to facilitate waveguide to fiber coupling. Results of displacement sensitivity calculations are also shown.
