As one of most efficient techniques for material-property modification, ion implantation has
shown its unique ability for alteration of surface refractive index of a large number of optical …

A range of ion beam techniques have been used to fabricate a variety of photonic guiding
structures in the well-known lithium niobate (⁠ LiNbO 3 or LN) crystals that are of great …

This book is the first to give a detailed description of the factors and processes that govern
the optical properties of ion implanted materials, as well as an overview of the variety of …

Abstract. In several oxide crystals the refractive index can be changed by inhomogeneous
illumination, and these photorefractive properties have allowed for a wide variety of …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

A nonlinear optical phenomenon, namely, the surface waves in photorefractive crystals with
a diffusion nonlinearity (of the gradient type), is suggested and analyzed. These waves can …

Planar optical waveguides were fabricated by He+ ion implantation in KNbO3 crystals with
doses from 2.5× 1014 to 1× 1016 cm− 2 and energies from 1 to 3.5 MeV, and the index …

The microstructure evolution of heteroepitaxial BaTiO 3 (BTO) thin films grown on single
crystal (001) SrTiO 3 (STO) under Ne irradiation at room temperature was systematically …

Optical waveguides are key elements of many photonic devices; for this reason many
materials and methods have been intensively studied to fabricate them. Ion implantation …

Planar optical waveguides have been formed in strontium barium niobate single crystals by
