Hi everybody,

I saw in an old paper that some guys are able to cut Lithium niobate in
such a way that they don't have to end polish after cutting.

Does anyone got an idea about this method?

I'm currently using classical diamond dicing. Tried different parameters
but never got something enough clean to avoid end polishing.

Thanks for any information, that's would be of great help.

Jerome
