4. Planar and confined waveguides

Integrated optics technology enables devices to be more compact, and various functions to be inserted simultaneously. Its development requires the prior production of planar optical waveguides.

The efficiency of these structures is directly related to the confinement of the optical fields in :

a direction for planar guides (§ 4.2 );
two directions for channel guides (§ 4.3
