EO Spatial UV-Light Modulator Using Periodically- Poled Deep-Proton-Exchaged s-LiTaO3 Waveguide

چکیده
We propose and demonstrate an electro-optic spatial light modulator using a deep-proton-exchanged waveguide in periodically poled MgO:s-LiTaO3 thin crystal for UV laser light. The fine pixel profile, the good contrast and low driving voltage were accomplished at 355nm wavelength.

Light-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged periodically poled lithium niobate channel waveguides.
We report the observation of light-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged, asymmetric domain-duty-cycle periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) channel waveguides for second-harmonic generation. The spectral tuning rate was increased rapidly from 0.07 nm/(kV/mm) to a saturated value of 0.32 nm/(kV/mm) in a 30%/70% domain-duty-cycle PPLN waveguide when the fundamen...
متن کاملWide optical spectrum range, subvolt, compact modulator based on an electro-optic polymer refilled silicon slot photonic crystal waveguide.
We design and demonstrate a compact and low-power, band-engineered, electro-optic (EO) polymer refilled silicon slot photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) modulator. The EO polymer is engineered for large EO activity and near-infrared transparency. A PCW step coupler is used for optimum coupling to the slow-light mode of the band-engineered PCW. The half-wave switching voltage is measured to be Vπ =...
متن کاملFiber-feedback continuous-wave and synchronously-pumped singly-resonant ring optical parametric oscillators using reverse-proton-exchanged periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguides.
We describe guided-wave singly-resonant reverse-proton-exchanged (RPE) periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide ring optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in which the feedback was provided via a single-mode fiber pigtailed to the waveguide. Wavelength selection was achieved by means of a fiber Bragg grating inside the feedback loop. The SRO threshold for the synchronously-pumped OPO...
متن کاملGuided-Wave EO Intensity Modulator Using Coupled Microstrip Line Electrode of Higher-Order Harmonic Resonance Combined with Polarization-Reversed Structure
A novel structure of a resonator type guided-wave electrooptic intensity modulator is introduced that uses a higher-order harmonic resonant electrode of coupled microstrip lines combined with polarizationreversed structure. The light modulation cancellation caused by the light transit-time effect in the resonant electrode, which is longer than the wavelength of the standing wave, is compensated...
متن کاملObservation of 99% pump depletion in single-pass second-harmonic generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide.
We report 99% pump depletion in single-pass second-harmonic generation. Quasi-cw pulses at 1550 nm were frequency doubled in an annealed proton-exchanged waveguide formed in periodically poled lithium niobate. Measurements of pump depletion and second-harmonic generation agree with results from numerical integration of the coupled-mode equations that describe the process.
