Optics Letters 36 (16) : 3278-3280. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.36.003278 | Abstract: | We report on how the optical and structural properties of Nd:YAG proton beam written waveguides are modified when they experienced annealing treatments from 50 °C to 950 °C. The microstructural changes caused in the vicinity of the nuclear damage region were found to be stable up to 700 °C, so that higher annealing temperatures lead to a complete waveguide erasing. Before this "erasing" temperature, the partial thermal-induced defect recombination reduces the propagation losses, reaching its minimum value (below 1 dB=cm) after a 400 °C thermal annealing. © 2011 Optical Society of America. | Source Title: | Optics Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98361 | ISSN: | 01469592 | DOI: | 10.1364/OL.36.003278 |
