Fabrication and characterization of Bragg reflector gratings in Ti:LiNbO/sub 3/ stripe waveguides

The first demonstration of Bragg reflector grating filters in Ti:LiNbO/sub 3/ single mode channel guides is reported. Filter bandwidths as narrow as 0.14 nm centered at 1.476 mu m have been achieved for TE polarization in Y-cut (X-propagating) material.<
