K. Elhadi et al., CONTROL OF PROTON-EXCHANGE FOR LITAO3 WAVE-GUIDES AND THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF HXLI1-XTAO3, Optics letters, 20(16), 1995, pp. 1698-1700
We show how the phase diagram of the HxLi1-xTaO3 waveguiding layer on
top of a crystal of a given orientation allows one to understand, and
thus to control, the proton-exchange process in lithium tantalate. Dif
ferent ways of producing high-quality waveguides are identified. (C) 1
