K. Elhadi et al., ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY WAVE-GUIDES REALIZED BY REVERSE PROTON-EXCHANGE ON LITAO3, Optics communications, 140(1-3), 1997, pp. 23-26
In this paper, we report a study of the reverse proton exchange proces
s in lithium tantalate based on the observation of the buried extraord
inary index waveguide and the surface ordinary index waveguide. This a
llows us to determine approximately all the parameters of these wavegu
ides and in particular the ordinary index variation for all HxLi1-xTaO
3 phases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
