Poling-inhibited ridge waveguides in lithium niobate crystals
Ultraviolet laser irradiation of a lithium niobate +z polar surface enables the production of ridge waveguides. Ultraviolet laser induced inhibition of poling is used to define an inverted domain pattern which transforms into a ridge structure by differential etching in hydrofluoric acid. The laser...
