LiTaOsub3 and LiNbOsub3:TI Responses to Ionizing Radiation

Abstract

Optical guided wave devices can experience crosstalk and mode- switching in the presence of ionizing radiation. This technical note discusses the responses of LiTaOsub3 and LiNbOsub3:Ti directional coupler waveguides to exposures of linearly accelerated electrons. A comparison of the waveguides in terms of sensitivity to the ionizing radiation is made.
