The authors report on a packaged integrated-optical LiNbO3 chip comprising optical compensators for endless polarization control and a tunable 3 dB coupler.endirectional couplersintegrated opticslight polarisationlithium compoundsoptical communication equipmentoptical couplersoptical waveguidesreceiverstunable couplercoherent optical receiversoptical compensatorspolarization controllinbo3621Coherent lithium niobate receiver chip for reset-free polarization controlconference paper
