  • Abstract
    Burned photoresist is used as etch mask when producing silica-on-silicon waveguides. The sidewall angle of the optical glass waveguides is engineered by varying photoresist thickness and etch selectivity. The principle for the formation of the angles is introduced and very promising experimental results are shown.
