Broad-band distributed Bragg reflectors with photorefractive Ti : Cu : LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguide gratings
2004
We have realized broad-band distributed Bragg reflectors with photorefractive gratings recorded at 441.6 nm in channel Ti : Cu : LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguides. Proton-assisted copper exchange is used to enable a high level of copper doping and, thereby, achieve an extremely large modulation of refractive index (/spl ges/ 5/sup */10/sup -4/) within a photorefractive grating. Experimental structures demonstrate reflectivities up to 17% with full-width at half-maximum bandwidths in excess of 1.2 nm at center wavelengths around 1.55 /spl mu/m.
