BaF2 Ridge Waveguide Operating at Mid-Infrared Wavelength

We report on the fabrication of optical ridge waveguide in barium fluoride (BaF2) crystal by 15 MeV C5+ ions irradiation with femtosecond laser ablation. The near-field modal profile and propagation loss of the waveguide at mid-infrared wavelength 4 µm are investigated by using end-face coupling sys...
