Abstract
A crystal of periodically poled RbTiOAsO4, in which optical channel waveguides have been produced by Cs ion exchange, has been studied using combined optical and x-ray diffraction imaging, reciprocal-space mapping, and diffuse scattering. The lattice strains which result from the uptake of Cs in periodically poled RbTiOAsO4 are determined and are found to be Delta c/c = +0.02%-0.04% for different orientations of the sample in the (00 (1) over bar) plane, Delta b/b=-0.02% and Delta a/a congruent to 0%, to within the resolution of reciprocal-space measurement. The detailed microstructural features of the periodically domain-inverted structure and the modulation of the Cs uptake in the ion-exchanged regions are shown directly in x-ray diffraction images from the (00 (1) over bar) surface. Evidence of defect clusters, formed during the ion-exchange processing and of size approximately 180 nm, is presented from analysis of the x-ray diffuse scattering around the Bragg peaks from the ion-exchanged layer and substrate. Discussions of the domain-inversion and ion-exchange processing and the consequences for the microstructure of the waveguiding layer and its properties are given in terms of our observations.
