Ultraviolet direct domain writing on 128° YX-cut LiNbO3: For SAW applications

Domain engineering 128° YX-cut lithium niobate crystals by ultraviolet direct-domain writing is reported. The evidence of the inverted domains were shown from both piezoresponse force microscopy and hydrofluoric acid etching.
