New Opportunities with “Old” Material

Abstract

Lithium niobate (LN) is an "old" material with many applications in optical and microwave technologies. Conventional LN components, including modulators and periodically polled frequency converters, have been the workhorse of the optoelectronic industry. While its high χ2 nonlinearity, wide transparency window and low optical loss offer unique advantages, conventional LN devices are bulky and discrete due to the low index-contrast in ion-exchanged waveguides. In my talk, I will discuss our efforts aimed at the development of integrated LN platform, featuring sub-wavelength scale light confinement and dense integration of optical and electrical components, that has the potential to revolutionize optical communication networks and microwave photonic systems, as well as enable realization of integrated quantum photonic circuits.
