  • Abstract
    Buried-stripe optical waveguides have been fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum-well material by masked Si+ implantation followed by annealing at 750 degrees C to produce selective-area quantum well mixing. The waveguides were found to support both TE and TM modes with propagation losses of 33 and 56 dBcm-1, respectively, at a wavelength of 1.15 mu m.
