The work is motivated by previous results obtained with rare earth ions doped GeO2 – PbO glass, with and without silver nanoparticles, in which irradiation, with fs laser was successful. The work aims to manufacture different structures such as straight, curved, and Y waveguides (using the double guide configuration) for applications in photonics (resonant rings, beam splitters, among others) in GeO2 – PbO glasses with silver nanoparticles. For both, straight and S curved waveguides, better M2 (beam quality factor) results were found for a distance between the guide walls of 10 μm, when compared to 25 μm. Moreover, among the two different curved guides produced it was also possible to observe better guidance when a larger radius of curvature (20 mm) was used; preliminary tests showed no guiding for 5 mm and 10 mm radius. The highest relative propagation loss was obtained for the S curved waveguide with a 25 μm distance between the guide walls whereas the lowest one was found for the Y shaped waveguide; for this configuration (opening angle of 5° and distance of 620 μm between the two arms) an output power ratio between the left and right arm of 53.9/46.1 showed promising applications for beam splitters.engopenAccessTexto completo de evento10.1109/SBMicro64348.2024.10673876https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9379-9530https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1371-7521
