Ti:LiNbO3 intersecting waveguides

Experimental crosstalk and insertion loss characteristics of Ti: LiNbO3 intersecting channel waveguides are presented. A single-Δn intersection region is used. The characteristics of both TE and TM are presented for angles of 2–20°. Our aim was to determine the minimum angle required to produce negligible loss and crosstalk (< – 35 dB) when signals are routed across one another in switching architectures.
