Abstract

We describe low-loss proton-exchanged channel waveguides in MgO-doped LiNbO₃. A Ta₂O₃ sputtered film is applied as a protective mask against proton exchanging with pyrophosphoric acid. The propagation loss of the waveguide, measured with laser diode light (λ = 0.83 μm), is 0.5 dB/cm. It is shown that the use of Ta₂O₅ mask reduces the propagation loss compared with the use of Ta mask (1.5 dB/cm).
