Correction of Y-Branches on Proton-exchanged Waveguides in Lithium Niobate By Femtosecond Writing Technology

Abstract

Correction Y-branches power dividers of the multi-function integrated optics chips on proton-exchanged waveguides in lithium niobate by the technology of direct femtosecond laser writing were investigated. Optimal correction parameters and their influence on temperature stability of Y-splitter are determined.


Keywords: lithium niobate, Y-splitters, proton exchange, femtosecond writing, refractive index, integrated optics.
