Parameter Estimation of an Ion-Exchange Process Based on a Pseudo Probability Measure

For the realization of integrated optical waveguide components, needed for integrated photonic circuits, a promising approach to manufacturing is their embedding in thin glass sheets by thermal diffusion processes. Because prototyping or manufacturing small batch series is costly, appropriate numerical simulations are used in order to allow an accurate characterization. However, in practical applications it is often more interesting to estimate the parameters of the manufacturing process based on specific features of the components. In this work, an estimation approach for these parameters is proposed and evaluated.
