Present state and perspectives involving application of ion exchange in glass

This paper presents recent developments in investigations of glass intregrated optical circuit. Components are realised by the waveguide technologies: single ion exchange, creating of buried strip waveguides, double ion exchange, and doped glass strip waveguides. Moreover, double refraction of glass planar waveguides, equipment and elements on glass planar waveguides and multimode interference structures in the technology of elements of integrated optics and plasmon interaction are illustrated.
