Arc-Induced Long Period Gratings in Erbium-Doped Fiber
摘要： In this paper, we report about the fabrication of long period gratings (LPGs) directly into an Erbium-doped fiber, by using the electric arc discharge technique. The attention is focused on the writing process and the resulting properties, by considering gratings with different periods and measuring their spectra over a wide wavelength range. The LPGs show high order attenuation bands with tunable resonance wavelengths and depths up to 30 dB, while the lengths of the final devices are in range 20–45 mm. The polarization-dependent loss of these LPGs is also measured, for the first time in this kind of fiber. As further novelty, the influence of surrounding refractive index, applied strain, and temperature is investigated and discussed in comparative manner. Based on the achieved results, this fabrication procedure can be adapted to a specific application, for example in optical communications, signal processing, and sensing fields.

Integrated electro-optic modulators in x-cut lithium niobate thin film
摘要： Integrated optics is poised to revolutionize several data communication applications. The development of high performance electro-optic modulators is essential for the technology to be viable. In this paper, single-mode electro-optic modulators in x-cut lithium niobate thin film are designed, simulated, and analyzed. The single-mode conditions of lithium niobate ridge waveguides are analyzed in detail. The design parameters of Y-branch and separation distances between electrodes and ridge waveguides are optimized. The half-wave voltage of the electro-optic modulator with device lengths of 10 mm is determined. The half-wave voltage-length product is about 2.2 V·cm, indicating the efficient electric-optical modulation. This study is helpful for understand of electro-optic modulator structures in lithium niobate thin film, as well as for the fabrication of high-performance and multifunctional electro-optic modulation devices.

Investigation of Ytterbium Incorporation in Lithium Niobate for Active Waveguide Devices
摘要： In this work, we report on an investigation of the ytterbium di?usion characteristics in lithium niobate. Ytterbium-doped substrates were prepared by in-di?usion of thin metallic layers coated onto x- and z-cut congruent substrates at di?erent temperatures. The ytterbium pro?les were investigated in detail by means of secondary neutral mass spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and optical spectroscopy. Di?usion from an in?nite source was used to determine the solubility limit of ytterbium in lithium niobate as a function of temperature. The derived di?usion parameters are of importance for the development of active waveguide devices in ytterbium-doped lithium niobate.

Variable-Ratio Mode-Insensitive 1 × 2 Power Splitter Based on MMI Couplers and Phase Shifters
摘要： Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) has been considered as a low-cost and high-density means for high-bandwidth on-chip optical communications in a high-performance computer and a data center. However, simultaneously controlling the power of multiple modes in the MDM systems is dif?cult due to the complex mode coupling for high-order modes (HOMs). Here we propose a novel schematic structure of variable-ratio mode-insensitive 1 × 2 power splitter, which is based on multimode interference (MMI) couplers cascaded with phase shifters. We theoretically reveal the phase shifting relations between the fundamental mode and the HOMs for the phase shifter formed by two unequal-width waveguides. Then, the operating principles for the proposed structure are presented. Numerical simulations are carried out and it is found that the structure has the ability to realize variable-ratio dual-mode mode-insensitive 1 × 2 power splitter by designing the number and lengths of the phase shifters, which shows a good agreement with our theoretical analysis. The structural parameters of the MMI couplers and the phase shifters are optimized to minimize the transmittance losses and the differences of mode power splitting ratio. The simulation results also show that the optimized power splitters have the advantages of high tolerance to fabrication errors and wide operating bandwidths, which indicates that the proposed structure can operate on multiple modes and would be suited to potential applications in on-chip optical communications.

Silicon Non-Blocking 4 × 4 Optical Switch Chip Integrated With Both Thermal and Electro-Optic Tuners
摘要： We experimentally demonstrate an integrated strictly non-blocking silicon 4×4 optical switch chip that can be operated in both thermo-optic (TO) and electro-optic (EO) switching modes. It is based on the double-layer network (DLN) architecture and consists of twelve 2×2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch elements. TO phase shifters based on TiN microheaters and EO phase shifters based on p-i-n diodes are embedded in both waveguide arms of the MZI elements. The power consumption for TO and EO switching is 34 mW/π and 7 mW/π, respectively. The on-chip insertion losses are 1.74 ± 0.59 dB and 3.79 dB ± 1.32 dB for TO and EO switching, respectively. Due to the merits of the DLN architecture and the optimized performance of the switch elements, the chip possesses low crosstalk of -29.1 dB and -19.4 dB for TO and EO switching, respectively. Quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) optical signals with a data rate of 64 Gb/s are transmitted through the switch with no observable deteriorations. Such an optical switch is a promising candidate for both optical circuit switching and optical packet switching for a variety of applications.
