First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of fabricating a waveguide containing quantum dots, the method comprising:
- providing a glass material;
selectively introducing a first type of ions to the glass material, wherein the first type of ions are exchanged with a second type of ions present in the glass to increase the index of refraction in selected regions of the glass material.
