چکیده
We demonstrate a novel technique for instituting complex and arbitrary shaped micron-scale domain patterns in LiNbO3 at room temperature. Fabrication of continuous domains as narrow as 2 microm across and hexagonal patterns of the same order accompanied by real time visualization of the poling process are presented.

Periodic poling of magnesium-oxide-doped lithium niobate
In this article, poling characteristics and periodic poling of magnesium-oxide-doped lithium niobate ~MgLN! are described. Periodic poling was done by the electric field method, with which uniform gratings were produced. The domain wall velocity as a function of poling field was measured and used to determine conditions for self-terminating periodic poling. A computational model for the self-te...
متن کاملPoling-inhibited ridge waveguides in lithium niobate crystals
Ultraviolet laser irradiation of a lithium niobate +z polar surface enables the production of ridge waveguides. Ultraviolet laser induced inhibition of poling is used to define an inverted domain pattern which transforms into a ridge structure by differential etching in Hydrofluoric acid. The laser irradiation step also induces a refractive index change that provides the vertical confinement wi...
متن کاملLow-threshold spatial solitons in reverse-proton-exchanged periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides.
Combining reverse proton exchange and uniform periodic poling in LiNbO3 planar waveguides, we demonstrate low-energy spatial optical solitons by second-harmonic generation at room temperature, with a threshold as low as 23 pJ/microm at 1.5 microm.
متن کاملOrdered nano-scale domains in lithium niobate single crystals via phase-mask assisted all-optical poling
We report the formation of directionally-ordered nanoscale surface domains on the +z face of undoped congruent lithium niobate single crystals by using UV illumination through a phase mask of sub-micron periodicity with an energy fluence between ~90 mJ/cm 2 and 150 mJ/cm 2 at λ=266 nm. We clearly show here that the UV-induced surface ferroelectric domains only nucleate at and propagate along ma...
متن کاملFabrication of Thick Periodically-poled Lithium Niobate Crystals by Standard Electric Field Poling and Direct Bonding
We fabricated 1 mm-thick periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystals by using a high-voltage amplifier for standard electric field poling combined with a voltage multiplier. Furthermore, two 1 mm-thick PPLNs were directly bonded to make a 2 mm-thick PPLN. The large aperture allowed broad angular tuning, and a broad spectral range of quasi-phase matched second-harmonic generation can be a...
