Polarization-independent $Ti:LiNbO_3;2{ imes}2$ optical add/drop multiplexer for the 1550nm wavelength region is fabricated. The device consists of two input waveguides, two polarization beam splitters. two polarization conversion/electrooptic tuning waveguide sections, and two output waveguides. The single mode channel waveguides for both TE and TM polarizations are fabricated on a x-cut $Ti:LiNbO_3$substrate by Ti diffusion. Spectral section is based on phase-matched polarization conversion due to shear strain induced by a thick $SiO_2$ grating overlay film. An applied voltage tunes the device by changing the waveguide birefringence, hence the optical wavelength at which most efficient polarization conversion occurs. Tuning rate of 0.094nm/V with a maximum range of 17nm has been obtained. The nearest side-lobe is about 8.2dB. The FWHM is 3.72nm.
