TLDR
In this paper, the index change and birefringence resulting from K+-Na+ ion exchange in glass are mainly due to induced surface stresses, and the importance of this fact with regard to the fabrication of optical waveguides is discussed.Abstract:

Modeling of the index change in K(+)-Na(+) ion-exchanged glass.
TL;DR: A unique and systematic method for determining the compressive stress generated in the glass resulting from ion exchange and the limitation in accuracy is dictated by measurement errors and uncertainties in the values of the ionic radii and polarizabilities.

Stresses in Glass Produced by Nonuniform Exchange of Monovalent Ions
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of the rate of diffusion of alkali ions into a soda-lime glass from nitrate melts, and the distortion of glass disks produced by the stresses thus developed was measured using an interference technique.

Planar optical waveguides formed by silver-ion migration in glass
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study has been carried out on the propagation-mode characteristics of graded-index planar optical waveguides formed by silver-sodium ion exchange, and it has been found that the index profile can be accurately modeled by a monotonic decrease from a maximum value at the surface, following a second-order polynomial distribution.

Characterization of planar optical waveguides by K(+)-ion exchange in glass.
Gar Lam Yip,Jacques Albert +1 more
TL;DR: Mode indices measurements made on planar waveguides by K(+)-ion exchange in soda-lime glass substrates were directed toward establishing formulas for evaluating the effective guide depth and diffusion constant for both the TE and the TM modes, given the diffusion temperature and time.
