N2 - The planar waveguides of 12Na2O10NbO2.525WO 353TeO2+1Er2O3 ([NbWEr]) glasses were prepared by Ag+-Na+ ion-exchange at 320-380°C for 5-30 h. The optical properties of the waveguides were characterized. Waveguiding property was successfully confirmed under all the ion-exchange conditions in this study. The thickness of the waveguides increased with increasing ion-exchange temperature and time. The minimum propagation loss of the waveguides was approximately 0.8 dB/cm at 632.8 nm. Hence, the [NbWEr] glass waveguides were considered to be promising for broadband optical amplifiers.
