Abstract :
A model for describing the operation of an integrated electrooptical polarization controller on LiNbO3 as a function of the applied voltages is presented. This model contains several parameters; for their determination, a special measurement procedure has been developed. This technique is used to determine the parameters of a developed polarization controller. With these parameters, the model describes the operation of the controller accurately. Moreover, the model can be used to calculate the voltages needed to reach a specific polarization conversion
