Abstract
This lecture will be entirely devoted to integrated optical spectrum analysers (IOSA) using waveguides of titanium diffused into substrates of single crystal lithium niobate (LiNbO3). The only integrated lens type considered will be geodesic lenses created by precision machining of depressions into the LiNbO3 substrates. This concentration of a very limited situation is certainly not intended to imply that other material systems and lens types are irrelevant or uninteresting, but merely that the lithium niobate/geodesic lens combination is the most well-developed technology for guided wave acousto-optical spectrum analysis and that it has the most immediate promise for practical systems application. It is certainly the lithium niobate/geodesic lens approach with which this lecturer is personally best aquainted.
