It is an excellent material for manufacture of optical waveguides.

Two types of optical waveguides are in common use.

The beam may be carried over free space, or propagated through an optical waveguide.

One construction uses optical waveguides, while the other is inspired by fractal geometry.

Their main technological application is as optical waveguides in both planar and fiber form.

An example of an optical waveguide is optical fiber.

Optical waveguides typically maintain a constant cross-section along their direction of propagation.

An optical waveguide is first fabricated out of the quantum cascade material to form the gain medium.

Multiple quantum wells improve the overlap of the gain region with the optical waveguide mode.

The cavities of laser diodes are frequently constructed as rectangular optical waveguides.

Optical waveguides with rectangular geometry are produced by a variety of means, usually by a planar process.

A second optical waveguide cable allows the transmission of data from the thyristor module to the main control electronics on ground potential.

An optical waveguide is a physical structure that guides electromagnetic waves in the optical spectrum.

Common types of optical waveguides include optical fiber and rectangular waveguides.

Semiconductor ring lasers are literally ring-shaped optical waveguides with a lasing medium.

Third Generation-Use optical waveguides to produce images directly in the combiner rather than use a projection system.

Other types of optical waveguide are also used, including photonic-crystal fiber, which guides waves by any of several distinct mechanisms.

Such a loss channel has been known from research on optical waveguide theory and is dubbed tunneling ray attenuation in the field of fiber optics.

As an optical waveguide, the fiber supports one or more confined transverse modes by which light can propagate along the fiber.

The sun's rays shine on ten linearly distributed sockets of optical waveguides that transport the light to a seven-segment display.

KTP is also used as an electrooptic modulator, optical waveguide material, and in directional couplers.

The evanescent field can also be used to trap cold atoms and molecules near the surface of an optical waveguide or optical nanofiber.

Sputtering is one of the main processes of manufacturing optical waveguides and is another way for making efficient photovoltaic solar cells.

A slot-waveguide is an optical waveguide that guides strongly confined light in a sub wavelength-scale low refractive index region by total internal reflection.
