We report on Y-branch superficial depressed-cladding waveguides fabricated by femtosecond laser writing of MgO: LiTaO3 crystal. The cladding waveguides with a rectangular cross-section are single mode for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarization, and show good transmission properties at a telecommunication wavelength of 1.55 pm. Divergence angles as large as 2.6 deg are successfully achieved in the splitters with nearly equalized splitting ratios (1:1). The fabricated shallow structures are excellent photonic elements for optoelectronic applications. (C) 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)
