Abstract
Exposure of bulk GaAs (either n- or p-type) to a hydrogen or a deuterium plasma can be used to passivate the sample surface, thereby reducing the free-carrier concentration. This in turn will modify both the refractive index and the free-carrier absorption, thereby making the samples suitable for optical waveguides.
