Modelling the formation of optical waveguides produced in LiNbO3 by laser induced thermal diffusion of lithium ions
Analytical and numerical modelling of the fabrication of optical waveguides in lithium niobate (LiNbO3) through direct writing with a continuous wave ultraviolet (UV) laser has been performed. It is proposed that the UV illumination induces heating of the surface and subsequent thermal diffusion of...
