Abstract

The authors propose and demonstrate a simple and novel method for fabrication of efficient Bragg grating reflectors at telecommunication wavelengths in titanium-indiffused lithium niobate single-mode channel waveguides. This technique is based on the patterned proton-exchanged process. The validity of the method is verified by the good agreement of the spectral responses and the Bragg phase-matching condition. Reflectivity as high as 94% at 1546 nm was measured with 4-mm distributed parameter waveguides in z-cut lithium niobate.
