Abstract From the Canadian patent

A Ge-added SiO2 thin film (12) is formed on a glass substrate (10) and a , metal film (14) is formed thereon (S11 to S13). By etching the metal film (14), a pair of electrodes (14a, 14b) mutually opposed at a predetermined interval is formed (S14). An insulating thin film (16) is formed on the insulating film (12) and the electrodes (14a 14b) (S15). While applying , ultraviolet radiation a high voltage is applied between the electrodes (14a 14b) to perform ultraviolet excitement polling to impart an optical nonlinearity to a channel region (18) (S16). By controlling the voltage application to the channel region (18) having the optical nonlinearity the , light transmitted through the …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 23, 1999 and granted April 15, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 23, 2019.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 23, 2021.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
