heal.abstract	We report a modification in the etching characteristics of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) single crystals induced by irradiating the crystal surface with pulsed UV laser light at fluences just below the ablation threshold. Modified etching behaviour has been observed using 248, 308 and 355 nm light from excimers and frequency tripled YAG lasers, for x-cut and z-cut surfaces. Both etch enhancement	en
