集成光学是将薄膜技术应用于光学电路和器件，并通过使用集成电路的方法来实现更好和更经济的光学系统的一种意义深远的尝试。这里讨论的具体主题是薄膜中的光波物理，所涉及的材料和损耗，耦合光束进出薄膜的方法，以及波导结构中的非线性相互作用。本文的目的是详细回顾这个新的和迷人的领域的重要发展，并提醒读者，所涉及的技术是困难的，因为薄膜光学器件的小和完美的要求。
Integrated optics is a far-reaching attempt to apply thin-film technology to optical circuits and devices, and, by using methods of integrated circuitry, to achieve a better and more economical optical system. The specific topics discussed here are physics of light waves in thin films, materials and losses involved, methods of couplings light beam into and out of a thin film, and nonlinear interactions in waveguide structures. The purpose of this paper is to review in some detail the important development of this new and fascinating field, and to caution the reader that the technology involved is difficult because of the smallness and perfection demanded by thin-film optical devices.
