    Abstract

    We report on utilization and optimization of the focused ion beam technique for fabrication of nano-structures on $Al_2O_3$ channel waveguides for applications in integrated photonic devices. In particular, investigation of the effects of parameters such as ion beam current, dwell time, scanning strategy, and dielectric charging effects are addressed. As a result of optimization of these parameters, excellent quality gratings with smooth and uniform sidewalls are reported. The effects of Ga ion implantation during the milling process on the optical performance of the devices are discussed.
