Abstract

For integrated-optic waveguides, propagation loss and mode- profile are important parameters. In this work, a camera has been utilized to measure the propagation loss for planar waveguides and mode profile for channel waveguides. Measurements have been carried out on ion-exchange waveguides, at 633 nm and 1310 nm. The measured mode profiles have been used to calculate coupling loss between an optical fiber and channel waveguides. It is proposed that mode profile measurements may also be used for determining propagation loss of channel waveguides.
