Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has recently emerged as a versatile nanophotonic platform. With the advantages of high optical confinement, enhanced light-matter interaction, and flexible dispersion ...

What are modal effects? Integrated photonics—the devices and the materials used to make them happen. One of the key planar-waveguide configurations: the ring resonator. The roots of waveguide optics ...

A technical paper titled “Unlocking the monolithic integration scenario: optical coupling between GaSb diode lasers epitaxially grown on patterned Si substrates and passive SiN waveguides” was ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The concepts of metamaterials and metasurfaces have spawned massive novel applications in free-space optics. However, recent research also indicates that they possess prominent ...

Zeng, Lingzhen, Lu, Wei-Chun, Grimes, Paul K., Chen, Tse-Jun, Chang, Yen-Pin, Tong, Cheuk-yu, and Wang, Ming-Jye. 2020. "A Silicon Chip-Based Waveguide Directional ...

A technical paper titled “Low-Loss Integration of High-Density Polymer Waveguides with Silicon Photonics for Co-Packaged Optics” was published by researchers at imec and Ghent University. “Co-Packaged ...

Holographic photopolymers can be cast onto and around other optical elements, then patterned with a 3D routed waveguide to form hybrid integrated photonics. While multi-photon initiation can be used ...

For electro-optic control of a two-level system, the photon lifetime of each energy state must be longer than the time required for the system to be driven from one state to the other. Conventional ...
