The sol-gel derived planar waveguides currently being fabricated in our laboratory exhibit higher attenuation coefficients (typically 1 dB/cm) than the attenuation coefficients of ca. 0.1 dB/cm reported in ref 13. However, despite higher overall loss, the uniformity of the loss over the waveguide length is typically better than that achieved using our initial fabrication procedure.
