Conclusion

While optical-guided-wave devices have been demonstrated in a variety of material Systems, the Ti:LiNb03 technology is certainly the most developed and is commercially available. Over the past three years a great amount of attention has been directed toward manufacturing processes that will maintain the strict fabfication tolerances that are required for integrated optic devices. Techniques which have been developed are scaleable to large volume production. Applications of this emerging technology are known and will be implemented within five years, but the truly large volume markets may require 5–10 years to fully materialize.
