  • Abstract
    The amount of hydrogen in Li1¿xHxNbO3 layers prepared by proton exchange of LiNbO3 in benzoic acid melts can be limited by adding lithium compounds to the melt. Limiting exchange prevents surface damage, a problem primarily affecting y-cut substrates, and reduces scattering in exchanged guides.
