Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Athermalized optical waveguide devices and methods of making the athermalized devices are described. Boron is incorporated into the composition of the optical waveguides in order to athermalize the waveguides by reducing spectral shifts caused by changes in temperature. The invention includes the utilization of boron dopants in the core and cladding of optical waveguide devices such as Mach-Zehnder coupler devices and long period fiber gratings.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 17, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 17, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 17, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
