ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing birefringence in a silicate waveguide structure having a waveguide core and cladding includes the step of selecting an irradiation energy that induces compaction in the cladding. The waveguide structure is then irradiated with radiation having an energy equal to the irradiation energy to induce a reduction in birefringence.
