Developing zinc-indiffused PPLN ridge waveguides for UV, visible and MIR quantum applications

We have previously reported robust zinc-indiffused MgO:PPLN ridge waveguides for field applications in quantum-enhanced gravimetry and navigation, generating 2.5W of 780nm light at 74% second-harmonic generation (SHG) conversion efficiency. To tailor this process for different wavelengths and interactions, the effect of fabrication parameters on the waveguide mode shape and size from UV to MIR has been studied, with the aim to optimise mode matching between pump, SHG, and optical fibres to improve conversion efficiency, and reduce insertion loss in packaged devices.

Abstract


We have previously reported robust zinc-indiffused MgO:PPLN ridge waveguides for field applications in quantum-enhanced gravimetry and navigation, generating 2.5W of 780nm light at 74% second-harmonic generation (SHG) conversion efficiency. To tailor this process for different wavelengths and interactions, the effect of fabrication parameters on the waveguide mode shape and size from UV to MIR has been studied, with the aim to optimise mode matching between pump, SHG, and optical fibres to improve conversion efficiency, and reduce insertion loss in packaged devices.
