Key Points

  • The aim is to produce and measure positive refractive-index layers in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3.
  • Novel out-diffusion technique applied to create refractive-index layers
  • Direct measurement of index profiles using an interference microscope
  • Observation of low-loss optical waveguiding on crystal surfaces
  • Successful production of positive refractive-index layers in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3.
  • Direct measurements of index profiles reveal varied conditions.
  • Low-loss optical waveguiding confirmed on the surfaces of these crystals.

Abstract

Positive refractive-index layers in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 have been produced by a novel out-diffusion technique. The index profiles for a variety of conditions are measured directly with an interference microscope. Low-loss optical waveguiding on the surface of these crystals has been observed.
