Hybrid glass substrates were prepared by a novel, low-temperature process joining active (Er-Yb codoped) and passive phosphate glass. The resulting hybrid substrates are chemically and physically robust; they can be cut, ground, and polished by conventional, water-based techniques. The entire substrate can be immersed in a molten-salt bath to produce waveguides simultaneously in the active and passive regions. A low reflectance of -34+/-2 dB was measured at the joint interface with 1531.2-nm light by optical low-coherence reflectometry. Further, a hybrid laser waveguide device exhibited a slope efficiency of 33% at 1540 nm when pumped at 975 nm.
