Abstract
We report new measurements on LiNbO3 integrated optical circuits using two setups based on the use of a low-coherence light source. Fundamen tal limits of an ail-fiber optical low-coherence reflectometry setup a re outlined, and a complete analysis of the measured optical parameter s of the circuits and their effects is presented. We also report measu rements related to a polarization-axis misalignment of pigtailed LiNbO 3 components.
