Abstract
LiNbO3, KTiOPO4 (KTP) and Li2B4O7 (LTB) are three materials presenting specific properties for electro-optic, second harmonic generation and acousto-optic integrated applications, respectively. An optical chara cterization was therefore realized in each of them using the 'dark m-l ines' spectroscopy. From the angular guided modes spectra are calculat ed the effective refractive indices which values serve to construct th e index profiles by an inverse WKB method. Shifts between index profil es falls were observed. We discuss those particular behaviors and expl ain them considering three parameters: the model to draw index profile , the experimental measurements and the ionic implantation effects.
