Abstract

The advent of the laser in the early 1960’s brought a surge of interest in techniques to modify, deflect, and change the frequency of laser light. These functions are extensively used today in such technological applications as displays, telecommunications, analog to digital conversion, printing, and data storage devices. Of the many competing technologies, optical devices fabricated in ferroelectric materials like lithium niobate and lithium tantalate offer a versatile solid-state platform to do all of these functions integrated seamlessly in the same device. By patterning these crystals into periodic gratings, the wavelength of light can be converted to different wavelengths through nonlinear optical effects to create new laser sources not readily available. If the domains are patterned into the shape of lenses or prisms, light passing through the crystal can be focused and deflected through the electro-optic effect. By precisely creating the domain structures in ferroelectric crystals, these functions and others can be combined in a single device offering large design flexibility, compactness, and utility.
