Abstract
This paper describes a new pass-band optical filter utilizing a sharp wavelength-selective power-transfer occurring in the directional coupler composed of the K+- and Ag+-ion exchange waveguides. The wavelength- selective power-transfer is achieved by greatly different dispersion relations caused by the large mismatch in the index profile between the ion-exchange waveguides forming the directional coupler. A narrow pass-band width of about 7 nm is measured in the filter fabricated in the soda-lime glass substrate. The fabrication technique with two-step ion-exchange of the K+ and Ag+ ions, is also described.
