Abstract:	Buried channel waveguide amplifiers in erbiumybtterbium codoped phosphate glass were fabricated using proton-beam writing. Single-mode waveguides were fabricated with fluences ranging from 0.4 to 2.0× 1015 particles cm2. The end-of-range and surface profiles of the waveguides were investigated using atomic force microscopy. The waveguiding effect was investigated using the end-fire coupling technique. From the near-field mode profiles, the refractive index profiles of these waveguides were recovered using the propagation mode near-field method. From these results, it can be deduced that for phosphate glass waveguides fabricated with fluences
