Poling-inhibited ridge waveguides in lithium niobate crystals
Ultraviolet laser irradiation of a lithium niobate +z polar surface enables the production of ridge waveguides. Ultraviolet laser induced inhibition of poling is used to define an inverted domain pattern which transforms into a ridge structure by differential etching in Hydrofluoric acid. The laser irradiation step also induces a refractive index change that provides the vertical confinement wi...
متن کاملCalligraphic poling of Lithium Niobate.
We demonstrate a novel technique for instituting complex and arbitrary shaped micron-scale domain patterns in LiNbO3 at room temperature. Fabrication of continuous domains as narrow as 2 microm across and hexagonal patterns of the same order accompanied by real time visualization of the poling process are presented.
متن کاملCharacterization of erbium doped lithium niobate crystals and waveguides
Optical planar waveguides have been fabricated by the titanium in-diffusion process in lithium niobate crystals activated with erbium ions. The waveguides were studied by m-line technique in order to recover the index profile. The effect of the Ti in-diffusion on the structural and spectroscopic properties of the lithium niobate crystals was investigated by Raman and photoluminescence spectrosc...
متن کاملOptimized Digital Optical Switch Using Proton Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguides
The main emphasis in developing DOS has been on achieving low crosstalk (CT). CT in the order of -30 dB is acceptable in conventional DOS and below that value is hard to achieve. Relatively low drive voltage (or power requirements) is also necessary to optimized DOS. This paper depicts the design of Y-branched digital optical switches (DOS) with optimized on-chip area coverage, reduced driving ...
متن کاملOrdered nano-scale domains in lithium niobate single crystals via phase-mask assisted all-optical poling
We report the formation of directionally-ordered nanoscale surface domains on the +z face of undoped congruent lithium niobate single crystals by using UV illumination through a phase mask of sub-micron periodicity with an energy fluence between ~90 mJ/cm 2 and 150 mJ/cm 2 at λ=266 nm. We clearly show here that the UV-induced surface ferroelectric domains only nucleate at and propagate along ma...
