Abstract
Planar waveguides in nonlinear optical crystals of Sn2P2S6 have been produced by He+ ion implantation. The effective indices of the waveguide have been determined and refractive index profiles have been evaluated for the indices along all three principal axes of the optical indicatrix. The depth of the induced optical barrier is ∆n1 = -0.07, ∆n2 = -0.07 and ∆n3 = -0.09 at λ = 0.633 μm for a fluence Φ = 0.5 × 1015 ions/cm2. Propagation losses for hybrid-n1 modes are α ≃ 10dB/cm.
