Abstract

 We have previously introduced a femtosecond laser micromachining-based scheme for the fabrication of anisotropic waveguides and isotropic Bragg reflection gratings in lithium niobate for application in future integrated-optic spatial light modulators. In this paper, we depict progress in fabrication and characterization of anisotropic Bragg reflection gratings fabricated in lithium niobate via Type I femtosecond laser-based permittivity modulation. We furthermore depict an electromagnetic analysis of such multilayer grating structures based around coupled-wave theory for thick holographic gratings.
