Single-mode optical waveguides of 1 mm width are fabricated by thermal indiffusion so that Na ÷ is replaced by K ÷ in a simple soda-lime glass substrate. PbCI2 is selectively vacuum evaporated on to the waveguide surface as a sensitive layer (cladding). The thickness of the cladding is varied from 1
