摘要: A method of selectively etching a substrate ( 1 ) comprises applying etchant ( 4 ) at a surface of the substrate and illuminating an area of the surface with light from a light source ( 7 ), whereby etching is at least partially inhibited in the illuminated area ( 18 ) of the substrate. Preferably LiNbO3 is patterned in HF KOH, or HF-HNO3 solutions by selective illumination using UV laser light with 300 to 1000 mn wavelength, thereby allowing for interferometric or holographic structures to be formed.

摘要: An optical waveguide comprising at least a guiding lamina (10) of optical material bonded by direct interfacial bonding to a superstructure lamina (20) of optical material, in which regions of the guiding lamina have modified optical properties so as to define a light guiding path along the guiding lamina. In a particular example, a periodically poled LiNbO3 planar waveguide is buried in LiTaO3 by direct interfacial bonding and precision polishing techniques and used in an optical frequency doubling system.
