Abstract (EN):
The simultaneous production of both a 2-D waveguide and a Bragg grating is reported. The samples used consisted of a three layer slab structure produced by flame hydrolysis deposition. They were exposed to a focused KrF excimer laser beam. The exposure was done through a non-absorbing quartz plate which contained a 6 mm long phase mask with a period of 1066 nm on its central part. A type II grating was obtained, with the periodic perturbation clearly observed under a microscope.
