Abstract

A ridge waveguide is manufactured by the technique of O5+-ion irradiation combined with diamond-blade dicing of a zinc sulfide (ZnS) crystal. The waveguide supports single-mode transmission at mid-infrared wavelength of 4 μm. The refractive index distribution of the waveguide is modeled and fits well with the experimental result. After annealing treatment, the propagation loss of the ridge waveguide decreases to 0.4 dB/cm for the TE mode. The measured Raman spectra of the modified region demonstrate that no prominent lattice damage occurs after O5+-ion irradiation in ZnS crystal.
