Fiber - coupled nanophotonic devices for nonlinear optics and cavity QED
The sub-wavelength optical confinement and low optical loss of nanophotonic devices dramatically enhances the interaction between light and matter within these structures. When nanophotonic devices are combined with an efficient optical coupling channel, nonlinear optical behavior can be observed at low power levels in weakly-nonlinear materials. In a similar vein, when resonant atomic systems ...
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 کاملA compliant polymer interface with 1.4dB loss between standard fibers and nanophotonic waveguides
We demonstrate improved performance in interfacing standard fibers with nanophotonic waveguides through a mechanically compliant polymer interface. We show -1.4dB peak transmission with 0.8dB penalty over the ~100nm bandwidth measured and all polarizations. OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits Challenges in cost and scalability of photonic pa...
متن کاملA wavelength-selective photonic-crystal waveguide coupled to a nanowire light source
The efficient delivery of photons from light sources to photonic circuits is central to any fibre-optic or integrated optical system. Coupling light emitters to optical fibres or waveguides determines the photon flux available in, and therefore the performance of, photonic devices used in applications such as optical communication and information processing. Many solutions have been proposed to...
متن کاملIdeal, constant-loss nanophotonic mode converter using a Lagrangian approach.
Coupling light between an optical fiber and a silicon nanophotonic waveguide is a challenge facing the field of silicon photonics to which various mode converters have been proposed. Inverted tapers stand out as a practical solution enabling efficient and broadband mode conversion. Current design approaches often use linearly-shaped tapers and two dimensional approximations; however, these appr...
