Abstract
Ti diffusion into LiNbO3 single crystal was studied as a result of Rub y laser irradiation of a metallic Ti thin film covering the crystal su rface and subsequent thermal processing in a furnace. Different regime s of irradiation and heating were used. SIMS analysis was employed for investigation of the treatment. The combined method used proved to be able to form waveguides of 3-4 mum thickness.
