P. Mathey et al., Guiding properties and nonlinear wave mixing at 854 nm in a rhodium-doped BaTiO3 waveguide implanted with He+ ions, J OPT SOC B, 18(3), 2001, pp. 344-347
For the very first time to our knowledge, guided waves at 854 nm are observ
ed in a BaTiO3:Rh waveguide fabricated by the technique of ion-beam implant
ation. The photorefractive interaction between two guided modes is demonstr
ated and characterized. The experiments revealed that the gain direction is
reversed in the guiding layer in comparison with that in the bulk. A maxim
um gain of 24 cm(-1) is achieved. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
