Just like tiny electronic circuits (made of transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc) can be produced through photolithography, so can optical devices (presumably made of modulators, lenses, polarized beamsplitters, laser diodes, photodetectors, ... I'm not sure what can be made this way and what can't yet be made).
