Title: Wet etching of proton-exchanged lithium niobate-a novel processing technique
Abstract: A novel and simple method to etch lithium niobate is reported. It was found that proton exchanged areas on the c/sup +/-face of the crystal can be etched away using a mixture of HF:HNO/sub 3/ while the unexchanged regions are left untouched. The method can be used as a tool for studies of the proton exchange process, as well as to form three-dimensional structures.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
