ABSTRACT:
A fluorine containing silicate glass substrate is heated to a temperature sufficiently high to permit fluorine to out-diffuse from the surface thereof. A surface region is formed having a gradient fluorine concentration in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface, the region of lowest fluorine concentration having the highest refractive index. The resultant device is capable of functioning as an optical waveguide.
