摘要
We have analyzed the ferroelectric domain structure of periodically poled LiNbO3 by nonlinear confocal laser scanning microscopy. Annealed samples exhibit domain wall width below 300 nm, which more or less corresponds to the diffraction limit. In contrast, domain walls in "as poled" samples appear considerably broader and tentatively structured. It? periodically poled Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide structures we find a pronounced enhancement ofthe nonlinear signalfrom the domain walls, which appears within the Ti-diffused range of the waveguide including the surface region.
