Fabrication and Characterization of Waveguides in Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate

This thesis describes the fabrication and characterization of waveguides in the nonlinear, Raman-active optical crystal potassium gadolinium tungstate (KGW). Ion implantation and femtosecond laser writing techniques are used for the first time to fabricate waveguides in this material. The light ion...
