Abstract

Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) thin-film optical waveguides were grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates by solid-phase epitaxy to fabricate an electrode/waveguide/conductor structure. The propagation loss was relatively large for a PZT waveguide on a lightly Nb-doped SrTiO3 as compared with the propagation loss of 4 dB/cm for the structure using undoped SrTiO3. An electro-optic beam deflection device was fabricated by preparing a prism electrode on the surface of the PZT waveguide on a lightly Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate. Efficient deflection of the coupled laser beam in the PZT waveguide as large as 11 mrad was observed by applying 35 V between the prism electrode and the substrate.
