Photorefractive damage removal in annealed-proton-exchanged LiNbO<sub>3</sub> channel waveguides
Ion beam implantation has been used as a postprocessing technique to dramatically reduce the photorefractive effect in lithium niobate channel waveguides. The waveguides were fabricated by proton exchange and then annealed 1.0 MeV H<sup>+</sup> ions were implanted through the existing ch...
