Article Synopsis
- Glass waveguides are crucial for advanced photonic circuits and applications like quantum computing, imaging, and sensing, but their traditional manufacturing methods can be complex and costly.
- This study introduces a new, simpler method for creating glass waveguides using low-temperature processes where silver iodide phosphate glass microwires are integrated into silver phosphate glass matrices, enhancing light propagation.
- The innovative design allows for the incorporation of multiple microwires, enabling the transmission of different colors of light in various directions, making them suitable for advanced photonic applications, including smart glass technologies.
Glass microspheres have gained significant attention over the years in the field of photonics due to their application in whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonator platforms. However, the synthesis of glass spheres in the micro regime remains challenging, while it relies mostly on complicated synthetic methods or sol-gel chemistry. Herein, we demonstrate the controlled formation of phosphate glass microspheres by means of a simple, fast, low-temperature, post-glass melting thermal treatment of previously quenched glass.
