Abstract

The finite element method is used to determine the propagation constants in an optical waveguide obtained in glass by double ion exchange (Ag+). The second diffusion of the Ag+ ion in glass shifts the electric field peak towards higher values of the depth, in accord with a similar behavior of the refractive index profile maximum..
