<p>A poled dielectric substrate is fabricated by creating a uniform potential, such as a ground by means of an electrode surface, adjacent a first surface of a polable dielectric material (6), such as a piezoelectric or lithium niobate, and then applying an electric field (20) adjacent a second surface of the polable dielectric material (8), where the electric field is spatially-modulated according to a three-dimensional modulation pattern with a field amplitude level at selected locations sufficient to cause atomic rearrangement within predefined regions in the polable material, and where the modulation pattern is controlled according to a modulation parameter. The control mechanism of modulation amplitude level may be protrusions of an electrically conductive material (15) extending toward the polable material or by modulated variation in the dielectric constant of a dielectric material separating the polable material from an electrode plate.</p> |
