Surface domain engineering in congruent lithium niobate single crystals: a route to sub-micron periodic poling

We describe a technique for surface domain engineering in congruent lithium niobate single crystals. The method is based on conventional electric-field poling, but involves an intentional overpoling step that inverts all the material apart from a thin surface region directly below the patterned phot...
