- This paper reports for the first time on the measurement and analysis of electrically poled glass layers using leaky optical modes. This is a fast, non-destructive and accurate method of deducing the depth and refractive index profile of poled glass layers. One of the features of this work is that the abruptness of the dielectric interface of the poled-un-poled glass can easily be assessed. Poled glass layers have applications in nano-texturing of glass surfaces, optical waveguides devices, diffractive optics and surface reactivity modification.
