Abstract

Rapid thermal annealing has been used to initiate diffusion of Ti in LiNbO3 for the fabrication of optical waveguides. The sample with the most rapid initial ramp of temperature to 875 C was found to have the lowest propagation loss of 1 dB/cm. In order to more fully understand these channel waveguides, we have utilized Raman microprobe spectroscopy. Preliminary results suggest that the presence of the Ti in the LiNbO3 lattice dramatically alters the Raman response.
