Abstract

We have fabricated optical channels in selectively masked planar GaAs/AlGaAs waveguide structures using both 10 MeV oxygen and 8 MeV carbon ions. Implantation at different temperatures appears to have a direct effect on the extracted propagation mode losses. Single-mode operation was observed from all the fabricated optical channels at a wavelength of 1.3 μm. The optical characterization results provide insight as to which ion beam parameters are best suited to optimize this fabrication process.
