Characterization of Photorefractive Effect in Annealed Proton-Exchanged (APE) LiNbO3 Waveguides in the Visible Region,

Abstract

Annealed proton exchanged(APE) LiNbO3 waveguides with recovered electro-optic/nonlinear coefficients and low propagation loss are widely used in integrated optics. Although it is known that the PE LiNbO3 waveguides have higher resistance to photorefractive damage than Ti-diffused LiNbO3 waveguides), a feature which is quite attractive for nonlinear guided wave applications such as efficient diode laser doubling), a quantitative characterization of photorefractive effect in APE LiNbO3 waveguides in the visible region has not yet been reported.
