Abstract
Permanent deuterium enhanced photosensitivity is demonstrated in Ge-doped silica-on-silicon thin film layers by applying a rapid thermal process. The long term photosensitivity locking obtained should enable the development of all UV-written devices limited to date by the rapid deuterium outdiffusion during fabrication.
