title: [Measurement of waveguide depth in proton-exchanged LiNbO3 by infrared absorption spectroscopy].
abstract: A novel method for determining proton-exchanged LiNbO3 waveguide depth by infrared absorption spectroscopy was proposed. The method overcomes the shortcoming that the conventional prism-coupling + IWKB technique is only applicable to the multimode waveguides. For the commonly used single-mode waveguides, however, it is helpless. The experimental results indicated that this method has good accuracy.
