ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide forming process is disclosed which enables glass waveguides to be deposited on metalized substrates without substantial degradation of the wiring of the substrate. The process involves the use of carbon material to protect the metal wiring on or embedded in the substrate during the consolidation phase of the waveguide formation. The carbon plate reacts readily with oxygen impurities to control the oxygen partial Pressure during the consolidation phase.
