Main Results:

Negative index gratings in planar germanosilicate waveguides demonstrated stability up to 500°C.
The annealing properties were found to be analogous to negative index fiber gratings.
No significant degradation of grating performance was observed within the tested temperature range.

Conclusions:

Planar germanosilicate waveguides support thermally stable negative index gratings.
The findings suggest potential for high-temperature applications of these waveguide gratings.
The similarity to fiber gratings implies a common underlying physical mechanism for thermal stability.
