Metal nanoclusters of Ag, Au and Cu have been produced by ion implantation into x- and z-cut lithium niobate. MeV Ag implantation followed by heat treatment simultaneously produced a waveguide and Ag clusters with a high nonlinear index. Co-implantation of O with Ag at 500{degree} enhanced the ability of the clusters to withstand heat treatment. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
