Abstract
A novel ion exchange technique is introduced in this paper. By electrolyzin g a RbNO3 solution held in two electrolyzers separated by a KTP crystal und er the applied electric field, a Rb1-xTiOPO4 layer formed. This was confirm ed by electron probe microanalysis. The distribution of Rb+ in the KTP crys tal was measured by electron probe X-ray line scanning. This technique is e xpected to have potential applications in waveguide fabrications.
