Abstract

The process for the preparation of a waveguide buried in a glass substrate according to the invention consists of the following stages: PA1 a stage of producing a waveguide (28, 38) by ion exchange on the surface of each of two glass substrates (22, 32), PA1 a stage of aligning both substrates, so that the surfaces in which the waveguides have been produced face one another, PA1 a direct wafer bonding stage of the two substrates.
