Abstract
A new fabrication method for lithium niobate ridge waveguides is reported.
Lithium niobate ridge waveguide with a smooth surface was fabricated by ${\rm O}^{+}$ ions implanted combined with Ar ion beam etching. The beam
propagation method (BPM) was used to simulate the properties of planar and
ridge waveguides by use of a reconstructed refractive index profile. The
simulation results match to the experimental results very well, and the loss
value of the ridge waveguide is about 2 dB/cm.
