A method for fabricating a nonlinear optical waveguide with gradient refractive index distribution, in which a nonlinear optical crystal is prepared; a type of first heavy ions, a type of second heavy ions and parameters related to an irradiation process are determined; the first heavy ions are accelerated to generate a first ion beam; the nonlinear optical crystal is bombarded with the first ion beam to obtain a primary processed crystal; the second heavy ions are accelerated to generate a second ion beam; the primary processed crystal is bombarded with the second ion beam to obtain a secondary processed crystal; and the secondary processed crystal is segmented to obtain the desired optical waveguide.

Method for fabricating nonlinear optical waveguide with gradient refractive index distribution

A method for building an etching-free hybrid nonlinear waveguide composed of a polymer and an ion-implanted nonlinear crystal is provided. A nonlinear crystal is pretreated, and subjected to ion implantation to obtain an ion-implanted nonlinear crystal. The ion-implanted nonlinear crystal is spin-coated with a photoresist, and subjected to electron beam exposure, heating, and developing, so as to obtain a hybrid optical waveguide composed of a polymer and a nonlinear crystal.
