摘要
We demonstrate a new method of electrical fixing of waveguiding channels in strontium-barium niobate. The method is applicable to both bulk material and planar SBN waveguides. Waveguiding is achieved for extraordinarily polarized light. We suggest that the fixing is based on a partial depoling of the crystal rather than on internal electric fields.
