This paper describes modeling of single-mode waveguide and 3dB directional coupler for integrated optical quantum circuits manufactured by ion-exchange process. We present results of diffusion ion exchange simulation for Na+ ↔ K+ in the R 2 O-Sn 2 O-SiO 2 glass and optical elements modeling performed by the beam propagation method. There was demonstrated that the refractive index profile in the overlapping area of directional coupler can be calculated by summing two separate profiles, and error would not exceed 3%. We were able to minimize light propagation looses in the device with about 20 mm length. It was done by reducing interaction length to zero and adjusting width of the bend. After that fabrication tolerance of the device was looked. The overall transmittance of the proposed directional coupler was evaluated as 0.96
