Abstract: Nonlinear optical waveguides enable the integration of entangled photon sources and quantum logic gates on a quantum photonic chip. One of the major challenges in such systems is separating the generated entangled photons from the pump laser light. In this work, we experimentally characterize double-N-shaped nonlinear optical adiabatic couplers designed for the generation of spatially entangled photon pairs through spontaneous parametric down-conversion, while simultaneously providing spatial pump filtering and keeping photon-pair states pure. We observe that the pump photons at a wavelength of 671 nm mostly remain in the central waveguide, achieving a filtering ratio of over 20 dB at the outer waveguides. We also perform classical characterization at the photon-pair wavelength of 1342 nm and observe that light fully couples from an input central waveguide to the outer waveguides, showing on chip separation of the pump and the photon-pair wavelength.

Abstract: Data exchange between different data channels can offer more flexible and advanced functions for many optical networks. In this paper, we propose a switchable and reconfigurable data exchange device for arbitrary two optical mode channels based on three-waveguide-coupling (TWC) switches in mode- ision multiplexing (MDM) networks. The working principle of the TWC switches is numerically analyzed using the coupled supermode theory. As a proof of concept, switchable data exchange between arbitrary two mode channels among the first three-order quasi-transverse electric modes is experimentally demonstrated successfully. The insertion losses of the device are less than 5.6 dB, including the coupling loss of the multiplexer and demultiplexer, while the mode crosstalk is less than -13.0 dB for all functions. The proposed device is expected to offer more flexibility to on-chip MDM networks due to its low loss, low crosstalk and good scalability.

Abstract: In this contribution we present a new approach to achieve high extinction short and long pass wavelength filters in the integrated photonic platform of lithium niobate on insulator. The filtering of unwanted wavelengths is achieved by employing lateral leakage and is related to the bound state in the continuum phenomenon. We show that it is possible to control the filter edge wavelength by adjusting the waveguide dimensions and that an extinction of hundreds of dB/cm is readily achievable. This enabled us to design a pump wavelength suppression of more than 100 dB in a 3.5 mm long waveguide, which is essential for on-chip integration of quantum-correlated photon pair sources. These findings pave the way to integrate multi wavelength experiments on chip for the next generation of photonic integrated circuits.

Abstract: Electro-optic (EO) modulators, which convert signals from the electrical to optical domain plays a key role in modern optical communication systems. Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology has emerged as a competitive solution to realize high-performance integrated EO modulators. In this Letter, we design and experimentally demonstrate a Mach–Zehnder interferometer-based modulator on a silicon nitride loaded LNOI platform, which not only takes full advantage of the excellent EO effect of L i N b O 3 , but also avoids the direct etching of L i N b O 3 thin film. The measured half-wave voltage length product of the fabricated modulator is 2.24 V·cm, and the extinction ratio is ∼ 20 d B . Moreover, the 3 dB EO bandwidth is ∼ 30 G H z , while the modulated data rate for on–off key signals can reach up to 80 Gbps.

Abstract: In this contribution, we investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) in periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) on insulator waveguides and examine under what conditions such waveguides suffer from undesirable loss due to lateral leakage. We investigate the lateral leakage losses in X-cut and Z-cut LN for the fundamental (1550 nm) and second harmonic (775 nm) wavelengths. Our findings show that Z-cut lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is more likely to suffer from lateral leakage and has a lower SHG efficiency. We further provide design guidelines for highly efficient nonlinear optical waveguides in LNOI and show how lateral leakage can be avoided.

Abstract: The leakage loss due to TM-TE mode coupling of TM-like whispering gallery mode in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thin-ridge disk resonators is investigated for the first time to the best of our knowledge. We show that the propagation losses of TM-like mode in thin-ridge SOI disk resonators are significantly impacted by the radius of the disk. This behavior is predicted by a simple phenomenological model as well as a rigorous mode matching simulation.

Abstract: Thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is emerging as one of the promising platforms for integrated photonics due to the excellent material properties of lithium niobate, which includes a strong electro-optic effect, high second-order optical nonlinearity, a large optical transparency window, and low material loss. Although direct etching of lithium niobate has been adopted more widely in recent years, it remains to be seen if it will be adopted in foundry processes due to the incompatibility with standard CMOS fabrication processes. Thus, the scalability of the LNOI platform is currently still limited when compared with other platforms such as silicon photonics. Dielectrically loaded LNOI waveguides may present an alternative. These waveguides have been used to demonstrate a range of optical components with a simplified fabrication process while demonstrating competitive performance. In this contribution, we review the recent progress in dielectrically loaded LNOI waveguides, summarize the advantages and disadvantages of different loading materials, compare the performance of different platforms, and discuss the future of these platforms for photonic integrated circuits.

Abstract: Mode and polarization‐ ision multiplexing technologies (MDM and PDM) can offer considerable parallelism for optical multiplexing biosensors, complex optical neural networks, and high‐capacity optical interconnects, while requiring only a single‐wavelength laser source. Thanks to the mature fabrication processes of silicon nitride and superior material properties of lithium niobate, the silicon nitride loaded lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) platform allows the integration of high‐speed optical modulators and optical (de)multiplexing devices to achieve high‐capacity and low‐cost photonic integrated circuits suitable for data communication applications. In this contribution, MDM and PDM are investigated in a silicon nitride loaded LNOI (X‐cut) platform. As a proof of concept, an asymmetrical directional coupler‐based mode (de)multiplexer (MMUX) and polarization splitter‐rotator (PSR) are designed, fabricated, and experimentally demonstrated. The measured insertion losses are lower than 1.46 and 1.49 dB, while the inter‐modal crosstalk is lower than −13.03 and −17.75 dB for the MMUX and PSR, respectively, for a wavelength range of 1525–1565 nm. A 40 Gbps data transmission experiment demonstrates the data transmission capabilities of the fabricated devices. The measured eye diagrams are clear and wide‐open, and the bit error rate measurements show reasonable power penalties, indicating good device performance.

Abstract: We propose and experimentally demonstrate a microwave photonic intensity differentiator based on a Kerr optical comb generated by a compact integrated micro-ring resonator (MRR). The on-chip Kerr optical comb, containing a large number of comb lines, serves as a high-performance multi-wavelength source for implementing a transversal filter, which will greatly reduce the cost, size, and complexity of the system. Moreover, owing to the compactness of the integrated MRR, frequency spacings of up to 200-GHz can be achieved, enabling a potential operation bandwidth of over 100 GHz. By programming and shaping in idual comb lines according to calculated tap weights, a reconfigurable intensity differentiator with variable differentiation orders can be realized. The operation principle is theoretically analyzed, and experimental demonstrations of the first-, second-, and third-order differentiation functions based on this principle are presented. The radio frequency litude and phase responses of multi-order intensity differentiations are characterized, and system demonstrations of real-time differentiations for a Gaussian input signal are also performed. The experimental results show good agreement with theory, confirming the effectiveness of our approach.

Abstract: Integrated photonic resonators based on bound states in the continuum (BICs) on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform have the potential for novel, mass-manufacturable resonant devices. While the nature of BIC-based ridge resonators requires the resonators to be extended in the (axial) propagation direction of the resonant mode, the requirement for excitation from the quasi-continuum extends the resonator structures also in the lateral dimensions, resulting in large device footprints. To overcome this footprint requirement, we investigate the translation of BIC-based ridge resonators into a guided mode system with finite lateral dimensions. We draw analogies between the resulting waveguide system and the BIC-based resonators and numerically demonstrate that, analog to the BIC-based resonators, such a waveguide system can exhibit spectrally narrow-band inversion of its transmissive behavior.

Abstract: Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) has been demonstrated as a promising platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), thanks to its excellent properties such as strong electro‐optic effect, low material loss, and wide transparency window. Herein, a monolithic PIC for high‐speed data communication application on a lithium‐niobate‐etchless platform with silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) as a loading material is proposed and demonstrated. The fabricated PIC consists of four racetrack resonator modulators and a pair of four‐channel mode (de)multiplexers, which shows high data modulation rate of 70 Gbps for single channel and the total data throughput reaches up to 280 Gbps. To the best of knowledge, this is the first demonstration of PIC consisting of high‐speed electro‐optical modulators and (de)multiplexers with such high data capacity on Si 3 N 4 ‐LNOI hybrid platform, which opens up new avenues for achieving large‐scale monolithic integration on LNOI platform in future.

Abstract: The manipulation of optical modes directly in a multimode waveguide without affecting the transmission of undesired signal carriers is of significance to realize a flexible and simple structured optical network-on-chip. In this Letter, an arbitrary optical mode and wavelength carrier access scheme is proposed based on a series of multimode microring resonators and one multimode bus waveguide with constant width. As a proof-of-concept, a three-mode (de)multiplexing device is designed, fabricated, and experimentally demonstrated. A new, to the best of our knowledge, phase-matching idea is employed to keep the bus waveguide width constant. The mode coupling regions and transmission regions of the microring resonators are designed carefully to selectively couple and transmit different optical modes. The extinction ratio of the microring resonators is larger than 21.0 dB. The mode and wavelength cross-talk for directly (de)multiplexing are less than −12.8 dB and −19.0 dB, respectively. It would be a good candidate for future large-scale multidimensional optical networks.

Abstract: Nanoscale plasmonic structures can offer unique functionality due to extreme sub-wavelength optical confinement, but the realization of complex plasmonic circuits is h ered by high propagation losses. Hybrid approaches can potentially overcome this limitation, but only few practical approaches based on either single or few element arrays of nanoantennas on dielectric nanowire have been experimentally demonstrated. In this paper, we demonstrate a two dimensional hybrid photonic plasmonic crystal interfaced with a standard silicon photonic platform. Off resonance, we observe low loss propagation through our structure, while on resonance we observe strong propagation suppression and intense concentration of light into a dense lattice of nanoscale hot-spots on the surface providing clear evidence of a hybrid photonic plasmonic crystal bandgap. This fully integrated approach is compatible with established silicon-on-insulator (SOI) fabrication techniques and constitutes a significant step toward harnessing plasmonic functionality within SOI photonic circuits.

Abstract: Integrated silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides with anomalous dispersion have the potential to bring practical nonlinear optics to mainstream photonic integrated circuits. However, high-stress and high-processing temperatures remain an obstacle to mass adoption. We report low-stress, high-confinement, dispersion-engineered SiN waveguides utilizing low temperature grown reactive sputtered thin-films. We demonstrate a microring resonator with an intrinsic quality factor of 6.6 × 105, which enabled us to generate a native free spectral range spaced frequency comb with an estimated on-chip pump power of 850 mW. Importantly, the peak processing temperature is 400 °C making this approach fully back-end compatible for hybrid integration with preprocessed CMOS substrates and temperature sensitive photonic platforms such as lithium niobate on insulator.

Abstract: Signal processing using on-chip nonlinear or linear optical effects has shown tremendous potential for RF photonic applications. Combining nonlinear and linear elements on the same photonic chip can further enable advanced functionality and enhanced system performance in a robust and compact form. However, the integration of nonlinear and linear optical signal processing units remains challenging due to the competing and demanding waveguide requirements, specifically the combination of high optical nonlinearity in single-pass waveguides, which is desirable for broadband signal processing with low linear loss and negligible nonlinear distortions required for linear signal processing. Here, we report the first demonstration of integrating Brillouin-active waveguides and passive ring resonators on the same integrated photonic chip, enabling an integrated microwave photonic notch filter with ultradeep stopband suppressions of & dB, a low filter passband loss of & −10 dB, flexible center frequency tuning over 15 GHz, and reconfigurable filter shape. This demonstration paves the way for implementing high-performance integrated photonic processing systems that merge complementary linear and nonlinear properties, for advanced functionality, enhanced performance, and compactness.

Abstract: An on-chip biochemical sensor based on two-dimensional waveguide-integrated plasmonic crystal formed by a nanogap tile (NGT) array is realized. By using on-chip optical lenses, an ultra-wide collimated Gaussian beam is launched, coupled with surface plasmonic crystals and collected with relatively low additional insertion loss, allowing a large sensing area. The optical field enhancement and stop-band shift of the NGT device for biochemical sensing are numerically and experimentally demonstrated with sensitivity reaching up to ∼ 260 n m / R I U . Our sensor is demonstrated with monolayer thiol molecules illustrating that it can be functionalized with this class of molecule which is commonly used with bulk surface plasmon resonance sensors.

Abstract: Micro-combs - optical frequency combs generated by integrated micro-cavity resonators – offer the full potential of their bulk counterparts, but in an integrated footprint. They have enabled breakthroughs in many fields including spectroscopy, microwave photonics, frequency synthesis, optical ranging, quantum sources, metrology and ultrahigh capacity data transmission. Here, by using a powerful class of micro-comb called soliton crystals, we achieve ultra-high data transmission over 75 km of standard optical fibre using a single integrated chip source. We demonstrate a line rate of 44.2 Terabits s −1 using the telecommunications C-band at 1550 nm with a spectral efficiency of 10.4 bits s −1 Hz −1 . Soliton crystals exhibit robust and stable generation and operation as well as a high intrinsic efficiency that, together with an extremely low soliton micro-comb spacing of 48.9 GHz enable the use of a very high coherent data modulation format (64 QAM - quadrature litude modulated). This work demonstrates the capability of optical micro-combs to perform in demanding and practical optical communications networks.

Abstract: We review recent work on narrowband orthogonally polarized optical RF single sideband generators as well as dual-channel equalization, both based on high- Q integrated ring resonators. The devices operate in the optical telecommunications C-band and enable RF operation over a range of either fixed or thermally tuneable frequencies. They operate via TE/TM mode birefringence in the resonator. We achieve a very large dynamic tuning range of over 55 dB for both the optical carrier-to-sideband ratio and the dual-channel RF equalization for both the fixed and tunable devices.

Abstract: Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is a promising platform for high-speed photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that are used for communication systems due to the excellent electro-optic properties of lithium niobate (LN). In such circuits, the high-speed electro-optical modulators and switches need to be integrated with passive circuit components that are used for routing the optical signals. Polarization beam splitters (PBSs) are one of the fundamental passive circuit components for high-speed PICs that can be used to (de)multiplex two orthogonal polarization optical modes, enabling on-chip polarization ision multiplexing (PDM) systems, which are suitable for enhancing the data capacity of PICs. In this Letter, we design and experimentally demonstrate a high-performance PBS constructed by a photonic crystal (PC)-assisted multimode interference (MMI) coupler. The measured polarization extinction ratio (ER) of the fabricated device is 15 dB in the wavelength range from 1525 to 1565 nm, which makes them suitable for the high-speed and large data capacity PICs required for future communication systems.

Abstract: We review recent work on broadband RF channelizers based on integrated optical frequency Kerr micro-combs combined with passive micro-ring resonator filters, with microcombs having channel spacings of 200 and 49 GHz. This approach to realizing RF channelizers offers reduced complexity, size, and potential cost for a wide range of applications to microwave signal detection.

Abstract: Nanostructured piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films are being increasingly used in sensing and actuating microdevices. In this work, we report the experimental discovery of localized electric field enhancement in nanocolumnar piezoelectric thin films and its significant impact on piezoresponse. The magnitude of electric field enhancement is associated with nonflat surface morphologies and is in agreement with theoretical and finite element models. The influence of this surface morphology induced enhancement on piezoresponse is demonstrated using phase field simulations, which also illustrates surface morphology induced strain enhancement. The observed enhancement can be effectively harnessed to improve the sensitivity of related piezoelectric thin film applications.

Abstract: We present a novel approach to high bandwidth laser frequency modulation. A lithium niobate chip is used as an intracavity electro-optic modulator in a tunable cateye external cavity diode laser. The modulator is conveniently integrated with the cateye output coupler, providing a unique approach to high bandwidth frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing. The intracavity modulator feedback was successfully operated below 1 V and achieved superior frequency noise suppression compared to conventional feedback through diode injection current modulation. A closed loop bandwidth of 1.8 MHz was demonstrated, and the laser linewidth reduced to around 1 Hz as measured by the heterodyne measurement.

Abstract: Photonic resonators based on bound states in the continuum are attractive for sensing and telecommunication applications, as they have the potential to achieve ultra-high Q-factor resonators in a compact footprint. Recently, ridge resonators – leaky mode resonators based on a bound state in the continuum – have been demonstrated on a scalable photonic integrated circuit platform. However, high Q-factor ridge resonators have thus far not been achieved. In this contribution, we investigate the influence of excitation beam width and optical losses on the spectral response of ridge resonators. We show that for practical applications, the space required of the excitation beam is the limiting factor on the highest achievable Q-factor.

Abstract: The emergence of optofluidics has brought a high degree of tuneability and reconfigurability to optical devices. These possibilities are provided by characteristics of fluids including mobility, wide range of index modulation, and abrupt interfaces that can be easily reshaped. In this work, we created a new class of optofluidic waveguides, in which suspended mesoparticles were employed to greatly enhance the flexibility of the system. We demonstrated tuneable quasi single mode waveguides using spatially controllable mesoparticles in optofluidics. The coupling of waveguiding modes into the assembly of mesoparticles produces strong interactions and resonant conditions, which promote the transitions of the waveguiding modes. The modal response of the system depends on the distribution of packed particles above the polymeric rib waveguide which can be readily controlled under the appropriate combination of dielectrophoresis and hydrodynamic forces.

Abstract: High efficiency and a compact footprint are desired properties for electro-optic modulators. In this paper, we propose, theoretically investigate, and experimentally demonstrate a recirculating phase modulator, which increases the modulation efficiency by modulating the optical field several times in a non-resonant waveguide structure. The “recycling” of light is achieved by looping the optical path that exits the phase modulator back and coupling it to a higher order waveguide mode, which then repeats its passage through the phase modulator. By looping the light back twice, we were able to demonstrate a recirculating phase modulator that requires nine times lower power to generate the same modulation index of a single pass phase modulator. This approach to modulation efficiency enhancement is promising for the design of advanced tunable electro-optical frequency comb generators and other electro-optical devices with defined operational frequency bandwidths.

Abstract: Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) has emerged as a promising platform for photonic integrated circuits, with a fast‐growing toolbox of components. This paper proposes, designs, and experimentally demonstrates compact subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguides on an LNOI platform for on‐chip mode and polarization manipulation. To overcome the limitation of waveguide fabrication, the SWGs are designed and formed on a silicon nitride thin film deposited onto the surface of LNOI chip. As proof‐of‐concept devices, the SWG‐based spatial mode filters (including a TE 1 ‐mode‐pass filter and a TE 2 ‐mode‐pass filter) and a TM‐pass polarizer are fabricated successfully on the same chip, with the device lengths of only ≈50 μm. The measured insertion losses for the devices are lower than 3.1 dB, with high extinction ratio larger than 30 dB, at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The proposed and demonstrated SWGs can serve as important building blocks in a series of mode and polarization handling devices for LNOI integrated photonics.

Abstract: Increasing demand for every faster information throughput is driving the emergence of integrated photonic technology. The traditional silicon platform used for integrated electronics cannot provide all of the functionality required for fully integrated photonic circuits, and thus, the last decade has seen a strong increase in research and development of hybrid and heterogeneous photonic integrated circuits. These approaches have enabled record breaking experimental demonstrations, harnessing the most favorable properties of multiple material platforms, while the robustness and reliability of these technologies are suggesting entirely new approaches for precise mass manufacture of integrated circuits with unprecedented variety and flexibility. This Tutorial provides an overview of the motivation behind the integration of different photonic and material platforms. It reviews common hybrid and heterogeneous integration methods and discusses the advantages and shortcomings. This Tutorial also provides an overview of common photonic elements that are integrated in photonic circuits. Finally, an outlook is provided about the future directions of the hybrid/heterogeneous photonic integrated circuits and their applications.
