Effects of annealing on proton-exchanged LiNbO3 waveguides fabricated using octanoic acid

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 21 - Publication in refereed journal › peer-review

Abstract

Annealing properties of proton-exchanged optical planar waveguides in z-cut LiNbO3 fabricated using octanoic acid have been studied systematically. Waveguide propagation losses decrease with annealing time, and variations in the surface refractive index and waveguide depth with annealing time follow a power law relationship. The annealing process is shown to be an effective means of improving and modifying waveguide properties. © 1992 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
