Integrated optical components produced in GaAs and InP epitaxial layers using the photo-elastic effect

Studies have been made of optical waveguides produced in GaAs and InP epitaxial layers. Of the possible waveguiding mechanisms present in these devices the contribution from the photo-elastic effect (strain-induced refractive index changes) dominates. Stresses in evaporated metal films and their con...
