Periodically poled waveguides in Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (PPKTP) have promising capabilities for integrated quantum optical applications [1]. However a fundamental understanding of the underlying physics for a defined domain patterning of waveguides, especially in the submicron region, is important. In this context we report on our systematic analysis of periodically poled Rb-exchanged waveguides in KTP in the framework of various fabrication-parameters e.g. melt-composition, exchange-temperature and fabrication order performed by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The vibrational properties of the periodically poled waveguides were determined for different scattering geometries in three dimensions. We found specific phonon modes linked to the stoichiometric/crystallographic structure and to the induced stress.
