Table 1 PAPE experimental parameters of the different samples. To give an immediate indication of the sample properties we label the samples in the following way: use A/a for 42/4 (cm−1) absorption, C/T to differentiate between Circular and Triangular profiles and H/L to indicate the 400/200 (W/cm2) intensity.

From: Impact of the crystal orientation of Fe-doped lithium niobate on photo-assisted proton exchange and chemical etching
