Latency effects and periodic structures in light-induced frustrated etching of Fe:doped LiNbO<sub>3</sub>
Single crystals of z-cut 0.05% Fe:doped lithium niobate (Fe:LiNbO3), have been etched in a mixture of HF and HNO3 acids, under simultaneous illumination from a ~100 mW 488 nm wavelength Ar ion laser light source, focused to power densities of ~50 W cm-2 at the crystal surface exposed to the etchant....
