چکیده
We demonstrate electro-optic tuning of an on-chip lithium niobate microresonator with integrated in-plane microelectrodes. First, the metallic microelectrodes were fabricated on the substrate using a femtosecond laser. Then high-Q lithium niobate microresonator located between the microelectrodes was further fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing accompanied by focused ion beam milling. Thanks to the efficient design, a high electro-optical tuning coefficient of 3.41 pm/V has been obtained.

Optimized 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 کاملFabrication of a Y-splitter Modulator Embedded in LiNbO3 with a Femtosecond Laser
We describe a technique to integrate embedded microelectrodes and optical waveguides in Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) using a femtosecond laser, and a Y-splitter modulator was demonstrated. The Y-splitter was fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing and the embedded microelectrodes were fabricated by combining femtosecond laser ablation with selective electroless plating. The embedded microele...

Lithium niobate (LN) microdisk resonators on a LN-silica-LN chip were fabricated using only conventional semiconductor fabrication processes. The quality factor of the LN resonator with a 39.6-μm radius and a 0.5-μm thickness is up to 1.19 × 10(6), which doubles the record of the quality factor 4.84 × 10(5) of LN resonators produced by microfabrication methods allowing batch production. Electro...
متن کاملNanophotonic lithium niobate electro-optic modulators.
Since the emergence of optical fiber communications, lithium niobate (LN) has been the material of choice for electro-optic modulators, featuring high data bandwidth and excellent signal fidelity. Conventional LN modulators however are bulky, expensive and power hungry, and cannot meet the growing demand in modern optical data links. Chip-scale, highly integrated, LN modulators could offer solu...
متن کاملTailoring entanglement through domain engineering in a lithium niobate waveguide
We propose to integrate the electro-optic (EO) tuning function into on-chip domain engineered lithium niobate (LN) waveguide. Due to the versatility of LN, both the spontaneously parametric down conversion (SPDC) and EO interaction could be realized simultaneously. Photon pairs are generated through SPDC, and the formation of entangled state is modulated by EO processes. An EO tunable polarizat...
