An electro-optical deflector device, having a thin ferroelectric oxide film and
a method of fabricating the deflector device is described. On embodiment of a thin
film electro-optic deflector device includes: a planar optical waveguide, having
a thin ferroelectric oxide layer; a first electrode, having a conductive substrate
and a conductive epoxy; a second electrode coupled to the planar optical waveguide;
a supporting substrate; a cladding layer attached to the second electrode deposited
on the supporting substrate; and a hole through the supporting substrate and the
cladding layer for connecting the second electrode to an external voltage source.
