Abstract

An improved optical channel waveguide TIR switch and the resulting switching network fabricated in a Y-cut LiNb0₃ substrate are reported. Fabrication procedures and testing scheme are first described. Some preliminary experimental results are then given. Some of the advantages of the TIR devices are also mentioned.
