Distributed Bragg reflection spectra in segmented waveguides of KTiOPO
4 are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Regular period an
d super period structures are analyzed. The reflectivity is found to b
e strongly dependent on the unit cell structure. High reflectivity val
ues, in excess of 90%, are obtained in relatively short 3.8 mm wavegui
