Objetivo The project aims at a major technological breakthrough: the achievement of a precise control of ferroelectric domain size and shape at the sub-micrometric scale in 1 and 2 dimensions over centimeter lengths, a target which will have far-reaching consequences in the field of optical devices in LiNbO3 (LN) and LiTaO3 (LT). The core activity of the project will consist of an extensive experimental study spanning a broad range of polarization switching technologies and various patterning conditions. The poling experiments will be performed on commercially available congruent LN and LT and also on stoichiometric and doped crystals. An optimisation of the poling process resulting from these fundamental studies is expected to enable the fabrication of sub-micron-pitch gratings and engineered 1D and 2D structures, which could meet the demanding specifications for photonic applications. The ultimate interest being the exploitation of fine domain microstructuring capabilities for optical devices, the project will also pursue parallel research routes on waveguides, active-ion doping and UV irradiation in connection with domain patterning. The scientific challenge undertaken under this project can unfold a completely new field in terms of applications in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3, ranging from coherent blue and UV sources to Bragg gratings, Distributed Feedback Lasers, photonic crystals and Backward Optical Parametric Oscillators and Second Harmonic Generators.
