Characterisation of Ga-La-S chalcogenide glass thin film optical waveguides, fabricated by pulsed laser deposition

The fabrication of stoichiometric thin-film optical waveguides of Ga-La-S via a pulsed laser deposition technique is reported. Stoichiometric films are grown by ablating Ga-La-S bulk glass with a KrF excimer laser (lambda=248 nm) at an incident laser flux ≥ 3.5 J/cm<sup>2</sup>. The comp...
