摘要
We report on a new wet etching/ion implantation method for fabricating ridge waveguide on z-cut LiNbO3. The ridge structures are produced on LiNbO3 crystal by anisotropic wet etching via minus face. Mode guiding at wavelength of 632.8 nm has been realized by using direct 4.5 MeV oxygen implantation without any implantation mask. The ridge waveguide shows a reduced propagation loss of 1.3 dB/cm after the thermal annealing process.
