Abstract

The effect of thermal annealing in oxygen atmosphere on the glass structure of Ge-doped SiO2 waveguides synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) is investigated. In the CVD method, the thermal annealing in oxygen atmosphere makes the distribution of Ge uniform and improves the quality of the doped layer. The irradiation of ultraviolet photons to the CVD sample induces the paramagnetic centers. In the second sample, paramagnetic centers are not induced by irradiation of ultraviolet (UV) photons.
