Direct UV written Bragg gratings in lithium niobate ridge waveguides for analysis of process uniformity

Direct UV written Bragg gratings in lithium niobate ridge waveguides for analysis of process uniformity
Direct UV written Bragg gratings in lithium niobate ridge waveguides for analysis of process uniformity
We present our research on utilizing weak Bragg grating reflectors to assess the uniformity of zinc-doped lithium niobate ridge waveguides, aiming to optimize frequency conversion. These gratings are fabricated through ablation using a pulsed 213nm laser within a phase-controlled interferometric system, providing sub-nanometer period accuracy. By employing gratings we spectrally and spatially characterize the modal properties of our waveguides, enabling direct analysis of process variability. Through this analysis, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the effective index variation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides, with the ultimate goal of reducing it and improving frequency conversion.

Abstract

We present our research on utilizing weak Bragg grating reflectors to assess the uniformity of zinc-doped lithium niobate ridge waveguides, aiming to optimize frequency conversion. These gratings are fabricated through ablation using a pulsed 213nm laser within a phase-controlled interferometric system, providing sub-nanometer period accuracy. By employing gratings we spectrally and spatially characterize the modal properties of our waveguides, enabling direct analysis of process variability. Through this analysis, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the effective index variation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides, with the ultimate goal of reducing it and improving frequency conversion.
