    Abstract

    We have shown that high-repetition rate short-pulse laser deposition can be used to successfully fabricate low loss waveguide films in As 2 S 3 chalcogenide glasses. The resulting films are highly photosensitive and can be used without thermal annealing in waveguide fabrication. Waveguide losses as low as 0.2 dB/cm in laser written waveguides have been measured at 1550 nm. The results suggest that ultra-fast pulsed laser deposition may be an important process for the production of low loss waveguides in the chalcogenides.
