ABSTRACT:
A method is described for selectively modifying the refractive index of an optically transmissive body having an optical propagation axis. According to this method, polarized, actinic radiation is impinged on at least a portion of the body. In contrast to methods of the prior art, the actinic radiation is at least 60% polarized with a polarization direction parallel to a plane containing the propagation axis.
