Abstract
We have observed light induced birefringence in glass optical waveguide. This effect can be observed at low powers in waveguide because of the high power densities which are maintained over long lengths of guide. This effect is potentially useful as a wide‐band pulse modulator or as a device for switching or measuring the length of picosecond pulses.Keywords
