Abstract
In this study, a carbon-ion beam irradiation method with energy of 6.0 MeV was employed to prepare single-mode optical waveguide structures in LiF single crystal. The results of this study reveal that the visible light and near-infrared laser beams can be well-confined in the irradiated region that is influenced by the irradiation fluences. An end-face coupling system was used to estimate the propagation loss (1.3 dB cm−1) after annealing treatment. The surface damage of the irradiated regions in LiF was analysed based on the displacements per atom calculation using the stopping and range of ions in matter code.
