Abstract
Optical waveguides are key elements of many photonic devices; for this reason many materials and methods have been intensively studied to fabricate them. Ion implantation provides a general and flexible method to achieve this goal, with several advantages over the alternative techniques (Townsend et al., 1994). Most optical waveguides and integrated optical devices are manufactured using low-energy light ions (H and He), taking advantage of the effects caused by nuclear damage. However, this is achieved at the expense of using very high fluences (1016-1017 cm-2), which reduces the practical utility of the method
