Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the current activity on integrated LiNbO3 devices based on proton-exchange techniques at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton. We present the technology and the experimental results obtained so far on slab waveguides in 2D nonlinear photonic crystals and on channel waveguides in periodically poled lithium niobate and discuss prospective applications for all-optical signal processing in ultra-fast fibre telecommunication systems.
