Continuous wave ultra violet radiation induced frustration of etching in lithium niobate single crystals
Illumination of the -z face of congruent lithium niobate single crystals with continuous wave (c.w.) ultraviolet (UV) laser radiation modifies the response of the surface to subsequent acid etching. A frequency doubled Ar+ laser (lambda=244 nm) was used to illuminate the -z crystal face making it re...
