ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing a waveguiding structure, of the type comprising an optical waveguide supported by a semiconductor substrate, for splicing to an optical fiber, is described. In accordance with the disclosure, a layer of glass is deposited over a distance from the end of said waveguide, and the underlying semiconductor substrate is removed over a portion of said distance. The resulting modified waveguide can then be fused to optical glass fibers using standard fusion machines.
