This method links the desired performances of the optical waveguides with basic technological parameters. The first four charts of the method can easily be adapted for planar waveguides of arbitrary index profile. The last two charts were obtained experimentally and are valid for diffused Ti:LiNbO3 optical planar waveguides. The main optical parameters may be easily interrelated utilizing a personal computer or drawing simple vertical and horizontal lines on an abacus.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 1991, vol. 1374, 144-150}, publisher = {Integrated Optics and Optoelectronics II, San José, 1990}, title = {Novel technique for analysis and design of diffused Ti:LiNbO3 optical planar waveguides}, author = {López Higuera, José Miguel and López Amo, Manuel and Muriel Fernández, Miguel Ángel}, }
