Abstract
First results of the investigation of waveguides fabricated by proton double implantation and subsequent annealing in LiBbO3 are presented. Rutherford backscattering measurements and optical characterization we re carried out. A symmetrical near field pattern is obtained by buryin g the waveguides. Channel waveguides show strong light-induced refract ive index changes with time constants of about 100 ms. Switching of th e guided light using a cut-off effect is possible. Comparison with ann ealed proton-exchanged waveguides is drawn.
