在用于在基板（1）上在带状导体的形式生产光学波导（8）的方法包括两个透明层（3和6）被叠加被施加并在基板（1）上的光学波导（8）的形式构成。 两个层的材料（3和6）被选择成使得所述第二层（6）的材料的熔点比所述第一层（3）的材料的低，但比第一层更高的折射率（3） ， 图案化之后，进行加热处理，其中熔化所述第二层（6）的材料和视为横截面表面张力的结果呈现其表面的圆弧的形状。 通过在研磨或端面（10）良好的耦合或去耦光波的抛光成和从光纤是可能之后的衬底边缘（11）的光波导路（8）的该横截面形状。

In a method of producing optical waveguides (8) in the form of strip conductors on a substrate (1) two transparent layers (3 and 6) are superimposed is applied and patterned in the form of the optical waveguides (8) on the substrate (1). The material of the two layers (3 and 6) is selected so that the melting point of the material of the second layer (6) is lower than that of the material of the first layer (3), but a higher refractive index than the first layer (3) , After the patterning, a heating process is performed, in which the material of the second layer (6) to melt and its surface due to surface tension seen in cross section takes the form of a circular arc. By this cross-sectional shape is in accordance with the grinding or polishing the end face (10) of the optical waveguide (8) at a substrate edge (11) a good coupling or decoupling of light waves into and from an optical fiber is possible.
