Ultraviolet laser induced sub-micron periodic domain formation in congruent undoped lithium niobate crystals

We report the formation of ordered sub-micron periodic surface domains on the -z face of congruent undoped lithium niobate single crystals induced by pulsed ultraviolet laser illumination of the sample faces under specific irradiation conditions. We demonstrate the utility of this simple light-induc...
