摘要：

The optical characteristics of planar waveguides produced by proton exchange in lithium niobate crystals in different acids (with and without additives) are unstable with time ("aging" effect). The aging effects in LiNbO3 optical waveguides are investigated at room and elevated (50, 60, or 70A degrees C) temperatures. In all cases, variations in the refractive index of the waveguide layer with time, i.e., for two or three years at room temperature and for several weeks at elevated temperatures, are determined for waveguides prepared in different media. The dependences of the optical characteristics of waveguides on the nature of proton sources and the aging conditions are obtained experimentally.
