Abstracts

EN

The paper quotes the results of investigations concerning planar optical waveguides with a high value of the refractive index, achieved basing on a broad-band gap semiconductor ZnO, deposited on glass or quartz substrates. The investigations were focused on the properties of the waveguides, determining the modal characteristics, the attenuation coefficient and the structure of the surface.
