Photosensitive properties of a tin-doped sodium silicate glass for direct ultraviolet writing

In this letter, the fabrication of channel waveguides by direct UV writing into a bulk tin-doped multicomponent silicate glass is presented. Different laser powers and scan rates were employed and optimized to avoid surface ablation. The best results were obtained at a laser power of 95 mW and at a...
