A review is presented of electrooptic waveguide switch arrays with strong emphasis on those based on titanium-diffused lithium niobate waveguides. Crosspoint and array design considerations and performance are discussed as are waveguide technology limits. Switch array demonstrations are reviewed. Experimental demonstrations of switch arrays are described and particular parameters of the array, including insertion loss, crosstalk, and switching voltage achieved by several laboratories, are discussed and compared. Results of high-speed switch arrays are also described
