The paper presents the results of studies on the production of planar optical waveguides to be applied in amplitude chemical sensors, using ion exchange technique Ag+<=>Na+ from the solutions of AgNO₃-NaNO₃. Substrates from BK-7 glass and from soda-lime glass were applied. The influence of the parameters of the applied technologies on the shape of refractive index profiles of the produced planar waveguides was presented. For the produced waveguides the dependence was determined between modal attenuation coefficients as the function of mode order as well as the uniformity parameters of modes reaction with absorption sensor layer.
