High-Q lithium niobate microdisk resonators on a chip for efficient electro-optic modulation.
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 کاملElectro-optically tunable microring resonators on lithium niobate.
Electro-optical tuning of a microring resonator fabricated on lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is presented. The device structure, including microring resonator and couplers, is designed in detail and is produced by titanium diffusion on the wet-etched LiNbO3 ridge surface. The resonance wavelengths for TM and TE polarizations can be tuned by electro-optic effect. The output characteristics of through ...

In this review paper we showcase recent activities on silicon photonics science and technology research in Hong Kong regarding two important topical areas — microresonator devices and optical nonlinearities. Our work on silicon microresonator filters, switches and modulators have shown promise for the nascent development of on-chip optoelectronic signal processing systems, while our studies on ...
متن کاملMb/s data transmission over a RF fiber-optic link using a LiNbO3 microdisk modulator
For the first time, we demonstrate data transmission over a radio frequency (RF) fiber-optic link using a LiNbO3 microdisk configured to modulate an optical carrier. Initial experimental results demonstrate high-quality data transmission up to 100 Mb/s on a 8.7 GHz RF carrier. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
