Abstract :
It has been shown that the fabrication of optical waveguides in LiNbO3 by ion implantation is not affected by the presence of Nd or Cr in low concentration, or by 5% MgO. These results are compared with those for stoichiometric changes. The implication for integrated laser devices are discussed.
