  • Abstract
    The control of birefringence in Ti: LiNbO3optical waveguides by proton exchange is investigated in detail. It is shown that annealing of deep proton exchanged waveguides ( 7-8 \\mu m) in an oxygen atmosphere allows precise control of the birefringence over a broad range of values. Even optically isotropic guides can be fabricated.
