ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing an optical waveguide component with several layers stacked on a silicon substrate. The layers include a buffer layer, a first substrate, a guiding layer on the buffer layer and including an optical waveguide, and an outer layer as protection against external stresses. The layers are made from an organic-inorganic hybrid using a sol-gel process. An additional layer is disposed on the guiding layer so that a symmetrical structure is produced that has the same refractive index around the waveguide in the guiding layer.
