title: Independent control of index and profiles in proton-exchanged lithium niobate guides.
abstract: We demonstrate the possibility of controlling, practically independently, the form and indices of proton-exchanged lithium niobate guides by means of guide annealing and proton exchange in lithium-rich solutions. Experimental results are presented that indicate how one can realize specific guide designs.
