| Abstract: | We report the fabrication and characterization of optical waveguides realized in LiNbO3 by a combined titanium indiffusion proton exchange (TIPE) process. These guides provide several unique advantages which include permitting tailorong of guide birefringence, realizing proton exchanged Y-cut plates of good optical quality, and the realization of imbedded TM guides due to a lowering of no caused by proton exchange. |
