	The process for this test device involves etching a channel in a sol-gel layer between two gold electrodes. The channel is then filled with EO polymer. The light is confined to the channel which acts as a waveguide. Standard photolithograpy using masks and etching are used to create the features.

	The MZ devices is based on interference. An incoming wave of light is split into two paths. One path goes through some kind of electro-optical material and then is recombined with the other light path. Small changes in the index of refraction of the electro-optical material controlled by the electric current slightly changes the phase of the light on that path. When it recombines with the original light constructive or destructive interference occurs.		The MZ devices is based on interference. An incoming wave of light is split into two paths.
