Abstract
We show that two different phases can be present on top of the well an nealed proton exchanged (APE) LiNbO3 optical waveguides depending on a nnealing temperature. Moreover the crystal lattice parameters of APE L iNbO3 waveguides which have been annealed at the temperatures 320-340 and 400 degrees C differ considerably. The relationships between the o rdinary and extraordinary refractive indices and the crystal lattice d eformations have been experimentally determined in both phases observe d in APE LiNbO3 waveguides.
