  • Abstract
    We report the optimization of Ti:LiNbO3optical waveguides and directional coupler switches for the 1.56 μm wavelength. Total fiber-coupled insertion loss as low as 2.2 dB was achieved with diffusion conditions allowing a low switching voltage in Ti : LiNbO3directional coupler switches.
