ABSTRACT:
A single polarization active IO device includes a crystalline material substrate having an IO circuit array comprising an optical waveguide array disposed on a major surface of the substrate by a two step proton exchange (TSPE) process, and including an electrode array disposed on the major surface in juxtaposed relation with the waveguide array to provide one or more active IO regions thereon.
