LiTaO sub 3 and LiNbO sub 3 : Ti responses to ionizing radiation. Final report, 11 Jan 89-30 Apr 91

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5749703

Optical guided wave devices can experience crosstalk and mode-switching in the presence of ionizing radiation. This technical note discusses the responses of LiTaO{sub 3} and LiNbO{sub 3}:Ti directional coupler waveguides to exposures of linearly accelerated electrons. A comparison of the waveguides in terms of sensitivity to the ionizing radiation is made.
