It is well known that LiMO3 crystals contain a natural hydrogen defect, which binds to oxygen
and forms OH− defects. Since the shape of the corresponding absorption band varies …

Hydrogen incorporation during crystal growth or other treatment has attracted research
interest for a long time, but inconsistent literature data exist about the bulk hydrogen …

Lithium tantalate (LT) is one of the most attractive optical nonlinear materials, as it
possesses a high optical damage threshold and great UV transparency (0.28–5.5 µm) …

Hydrogen incorporation during crystal growth or other treatment has attracted research
interest for a long time, but the diffusion paths and the role of additional defect sites within …

Electro-optic properties of proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide layers in LiTaO/sub 3/and
LiNbO/sub 3/are studied and related to their optical characteristics. The proton-exchange …

The structural properties of annealed proton-exchanged waveguides in Z-cut LiTaO, have
been investigated. Observations made in a polarizing microscope together with infrared …

Polymeric nonlinear optical waveguides of a copolymer of 4‐(N′‐2‐methacroyloxyethyl‐N‐
methyl‐amino)‐4′‐nitrostilbene and methyl methacrylate were tested for optical power …

The crystallization of amorphous oxides synthesized by pyrolytic decomposition of mixed Li
and Ta 2-ethylhexanoates and alkoxides has been investigated. The study was motivated by …

We report on our progress in the formation of waveguides in potassium niobate (KNbO/sub
3/) using techniques such as ion implantation and ion sputtering. Different methods for the …

Watt-class wavelength conversion is expected by enlarging the mode size of the channel
waveguides to dozens of micrometers to avoid optical damage with high-power pump …
