Abstract
In this paper, we present the use of three different processing techniques which can be used to manufacture low cost optical waveguides and fibers using commercially available borosilicate glass. The techniques used are rod and tube stacking for photonic crystal fiber fabrication, dual laser ablation processing for planar waveguides, and thermal poling, which could potentially be used for refractive index engineering of planar optical waveguides.
