Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of fabricating electro-optic switches for use in high speed applications. Transparent conductive electrodes are affixed to a substrate and then directly applied to the surfaces of an electro-optic crystal using an optical cement. Affixing of the electrodes to the crystal is performed while pressure, having a predetermined relationship to the crystal size, is exerted on the entire package. An optical cement is also described having very low electrical resistance and very high optical transmissivity. The cement is unbalanced by an ionic carrier to enhance the ionic conductivity between the electrodes.
