AB  - The main objective of our study is to develop a new approach to the annealed 
      proton exchange (APE) method for the fabrication of the multifunctional 
      integrated optical chip (MIOC) used in fiber-optic gyro systems and to eliminate 
      the loss of time and material, especially in mass production applications. In 
      this work, self-polarized waveguides, which are the basic components of a MIOC 
      device, were produced by the APE method and studied. With the developed method, 
      controlled annealing trials have been carried out from a certain region on the 
      LiNbO(3) substrate used in waveguide production, and the annealing time specific 
      to the annealing process was determined. By utilizing a special setup for the hot 
      acid process, the proton exchange process was accomplished without a sudden 
      temperature change of the substrate. Using prism coupling measurements of the 
      fabricated waveguides, annealing times were determined to obtain index change 
      values suitable for 45%-50% optical throughput. Mode profiles of devices with 
      high optical throughput that were produced by the proposed method were measured, 
      and it was seen that devices from different proton exchange runs had similar 
      profiles. As a result, many undamaged substrates were fabricated, and their 
      optical quality was found to be within the expected values.
