Abstract
In order to fabricate strip monomode active optical waveguides for optical elecommunications, a layer of vitreous soot is deposited on a substrate and is impregnated with a solution of a precursor of a rare-earth dopant, and a radiation with a wavelength comprised in an absorption band of the dopant is moved along the soot, along a trajectory corresponding to the geometrical shape desired for the guide, thereby forming a vitrified strip.
