ABSTRACT:
An improvement for a method of producing buried regions of raised refractive index in a glass member by ion exchange characterized by removing a titanium mask from the glass member after a first ion exchange to raise the refractive index of exposed portions of the glass member with an EDTA disodium etching solution followed by a slight material erosion of the glass after removal of the titanium mask prior to an implementation of a second field-assisted ion exchange.
