Abstract

Titanium-induced structural modifications in thin waveguide layers of lithium niobate have been investigated by grazing incidence diffraction and complementary thin film techniques. The study was focused on the high-temperature phase transformation in this system and its influence on the lattice parameter changes, depending on the annealing time.
