Abstract

In this paper the fabrication process and characteristics of waveguides produced by He+ implantation in Y-cut X- and Z-propagating LiNbO3 are presented It is shown that low propagation losses, down to 1dB cm−1 at λ = 633μm can be obtained for TM modes only in Y-cut X-propagation samples whilst Y-cut Z propagating samples support both TE and TM modes with relatively low losses.
