ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide and method of making are disclosed. The method of making includes forming a layer on a substrate of a substantially optically transparent material. The layer includes an inner area and an outer area. A sufficient number of voids can be created in the inner area to form a first index of refraction. A plurality of the voids have a dimension that is less than a wavelength of the light beam. A sufficient number of voids can be created in the outer area to form a second index of refraction less than the first index.
