Chip-scale cavity optomechanics in lithium niobate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a chip-scale cavity optomechanical system in single-crystal lithium niobate that exhibits high optical quality factors and a large frequency-quality product as high as 3.6 × 1012 Hz at room temperature and atmosphere. The excellent optical and mechanical properties together with the strong optomechanical coupling allow us to efficiently excite the coherent regenerative optomechanical oscillation operating at 375 MHz with a threshold power of 174 μW in the air. The demonstrated lithium niobate optomechanical device enables great potential for achieving electro-optic-mechanical hybrid systems for broad applications in sensing, metrology, and quantum physics.

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 ...

This paper presents design and vacuum measurements of lithium niobate (LN) contour-mode resonators (CMR). By carefully positioning the inter-digital transducer (IDT), we achieved CMRs with kt×Q of 7%*2150=148 (IDT @ node) or resonators with very high kt of 12.3% and spur-attenuated response (IDT @ anti-node). In addition, we demonstrated resonators with frequencies ranging from 400MHz to 800MHz...
متن کاملOn-chip electro-optic tuning of a lithium niobate microresonator with integrated in-plane microelectrodes.
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....

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.
