Planar optical waveguides are fabricated on a Y-cut LiNbO3 single crystal substrate by Ti indiffusion method. From data measured by the bright M-line spectroscopy, refractive index profiles are reconstructed by WKB approximation method. Then, single strip, X-crossing strip, and Y-brinch strip optical waveguides are fabricated on X-cut LiNbO3 single crystal substrate, with waveguide patterns made by the laser beam direct writing method. And their near-field intensity profiles are observed after coupling the light to the waveguide edges.

Thin film acoustooptic beam deflector in proton-exchanged Y-cut LiNbO$_{3}$ was fabricated and measured. The planar waveguide was fabricated by using the proton-exchanged and annealing method in Y0cut LiNbO$_{3}$. Interdigital transducer for SAW(surface acoustic wave) was made by the laser lithography. Using above method, the thin film acoustooptic beam deflector was constructed. Its SAW wavelength was 20.mu.m at 174MHz center frequency. The interaction length between guided optical wave and SAW was 2.16mm. The measured 3dB bandwidth was 17MHz using He-Ne laser. And 70% diffraction efficiency was obtained at 970mW RF driving power.

In this paper, the real-time color pattern recognition system is experimented by optical approach using the SLM(TH LCD) and a photorefractive material. In the implemented system, the character patterns to recognize are controlled of an SLM, and a 10mm thick LiNbO$_3$ crystal having high angular selectivity and photorefractive effect is used for recording materials. The shape and color informations of the red or green color patterns are excellently discriminated at independent positions by real-time processing, as the results obtained by proposed optical architecture.

Fabrication and pakaging method for low delve voltage and 10Gbps Ti diffused waveguide LiNbO$_3$ optical intensity modulator are described. Optical waveguides were prepared by conventionaly electron-beam evaporation and Ti-indiffusion into Z-cut plate LiNbO$_3$. Traveling-wave electrodes were used for obtaining the wideband frequency response and impedance matching. Microwave effective index and characteristic impedance measured by time domain reflectometry and compared with the calculated value by conformal mapping. The characteristics of 10Gbps modulator at the 1550nm wavelength are as follows : perfect modulation voltage Is about 5V, optical insertion loss Is about 5dB, 3-dB bandwidth is 10GHz, and characteristic impedance is about 50$\Omega$.

The defect structure in LiNbO3 single crystals grown by Czochralski method from the congruently melting composition were investigated. Chemical etching patterns were studied in x-plane, z-plane, and major cleavage plane, respectively, dislocation density was higher at the periphery of crystals than at the center because the thermal stress due to radial temperature gradient had a main effect on it, as compared with dislocations formed from the solid-liquid interface. Many dislocation lineages were arranged along several directions.

A simple fabrication method of self-aligned ridge waveguides with dielectric side buffers is demonstrated on +Z- cut LiNbO$_3$. The ridge waveguide is fabricated by a combination of the annealed proton exchange process and the proton-exchanged wet etching technique. The self-aligned process is achieved by wet etching of aluminum.

We designed and fabricated a travelingwave CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode for LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator. To Investigate the variation of microwave refractive index of these electrodes, we prepared the CPW electrode samples as a function of electrode thickness and measured the TDR and S-parameter. From this results, we could know the electrode conditions of index matching to 2.20 for 1550nm optical wave index for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator and described. Also, we discussed the some properties of CPW electrode for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator.

A guided-wave electrooptic Mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator was fabricated on Y-cut acoustic grade LiNbO3 process. In order to reduce the electrode capacitance, serial capacitance electrode(SCE) structure was adopted. Extinction ratio more than 30dB was obtained with V$\pi$ of 4.69 volt at λ= 0.6328${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Frequency response was measured by using the swept frequency technique, and the bandwidth of the modulator was about 1GHz.

Good quality LiNbO3 single crystals which can be applied to SAW devices, were grown by Czochralski method. It was observed that the gas-bubbles were concentrated in ring shape at the outer part of grown crystals, and this anomaly was illustrated by modeling the mechanism of gas-bubble entrapment according to the melt flow pattern in the crucible. And this mechanism was also encertained by observation of solid-liquid interface shape of grown crystals. The optimal condition for good quality crystals was known that the solid-liquid interface shape was slightly concave.
