Abstract(in English) UV induced refractive index increase, the photosensitivity, in Ge-doped silica class has been utilized for the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings and long period fiber gratings. Recently, this phenomenon has also been applied to the fabrication of an optical channel waveguide in order to achieve cost efficiency and fabrication flexibility. In this work, the fabrication of various optical waveguides by UV beam scanning is demonstrated. Fabrication of straight optical waveguides and a Y-Branch waveguide are reported as preliminary experiments. We also propose and demonstrate the technique for a simultaneous fabrication of optical waveguide and a Bragg grating by scanning UV beam through a phase mask. Finally, we propose and demonstrate fabrication of optical channel waveguides containing long period grating by UV beam scanning and LPG based optical add/drop multiplexer.
