Abstract

Organic nonlinear optical materials have proven to possess high and extremely fast nonlinearities compared to conventional inorganic crystals, allowing for sub-1-V driving voltages and modulation bandwidths of over 100 GHz. Compared to more widely studied poled electro-optic polymers, organic electro-optic crystals exhibit orders of magnitude better thermal and photochemical stability. The lack of available structuring techniques for organic crystals has been the major drawback for exploring their potential for photonic structures. Here we present a new approach to fabricate high-quality electrooptic single crystal waveguides and nanowires of configurationally locked polyene DAT2 (2-(3-(2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)vinyl)-5,5- dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile). The high-index-contrast waveguides (Δn = 0.54 ±0.04) are grown from the melt between two anodically bonded borosilicate glass wafers, which are structured and equipped with electrodes prior to bonding. Electro-optic phase modulation is demonstrated for the first time in the non-centrosymmetric DAT2 single crystalline channel waveguides at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. We also show that this technique in combination with DAT2 material allows for the fabrication of single-crystalline nanostructures inside large-area devices with crystal thicknesses below 30 nm and lengths of above 7 mm.

A view of the unit cell along the polar crystallographic b axis (two fold symmetry axis) showing the alignment of the chromophores in the ac plane with respect to the unit cell; θ is the angle between the dielectric axis x 1 and the normal to the bc plane (dashed line) and was determined as described in the Appendix. The good agreement of the intramolecular donor-acceptor direction with the experimentally determined orientation of x 1 can be seen. The hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity.

Fig. 2. Processing steps for the fabrication of electrode equipped waveguide channels. a) 40 nm chromium and 50 nm amorphous silicon were deposited and structured on a borosilicate wafer by standard photolithography. b) The straight waveguide structure was patterned in-between neighboring chromium/silicon stripes by reactive ion etching. c) A cover borosilicate glass was anodically bonded to the fabricated structure to delimit the waveguide volume in vertical direction. d) The cover glass was shorter than the waveguide length, such that the fabricated channels were accessible for the melt of DAT2 and the material could flow in by capillary action and crystallize there.

Fig. 8. Transmission microscope image of an approximately 90 nm thick crystalline nanosheet of DAT2 grown from the melt as seen between crossed polarizers. The black spots indicate regions without crystalline material. Two crystalline domains can be seen as noticeable in the lower right corner, where the crystal orientation rotates by 11±1°. Grooves of any shape structured in the substrate borosilicate glass can be efficiently filled by flowing the melt of DAT2 through nanosize channels to the structure, a 0.5 μm deep microring resonator structure in this case. The orientation of the crystal in the ring-structure is the same as throughout the entire single crystalline domain.

Fig. A1. Numbered fringe maxima of normal incidence transmission spectrum measured on a DAT2 crystalline thin film. The light was polarized parallel to the dielectric x 2-axis (open dots) or perpendicular to it (i.e. parallel to the crystallographic a-axis) (full squares). The solid lines correspond to the Sellmeier model in Eq. (A1) with parameters of Table A1. The inset shows a typical transmission spectrum measured, from which the fringe maxima were extracted.

Fig. A2.
Fig. A2. Dispersion of the refractive indices of DAT2 in terms of a one-oscillator model. The solid lines represent the refractive index experienced by light polarized parallel (n 2) and perpendicular (n 13) to the dielectric axis x 2 with normal incidence to the c-face of a DAT2 crystal as a function of the wavelength. The solid curves were obtained from a least square theoretical analysis of the Sellmeier model in Eq. (A1) to the data from a normal incidence transmission spectrum. The discrete data points at 1.064 μm represent the resulting refractive indices determined from a prism coupling experiment. To obtain the refractive index value experienced by a TM mode at 1.55 μm (filled diamond) the corresponding data point measured at 1.064 μm (filled square) was extrapolated assuming the same dispersion coefficients q and λ 0 (dashed curve) as for the refractive index n 13.

The dotted curve represents the birefringence calculated from the dispersion parameters in Table A1. The dashed line is the birefringence measured with a tilting compensator B and a polarizing microscope with a white light source. The two birefringence values are in good agreement close to the absorption edge in the transmission spectrum of DAT2 (solid line).

Fig. A4.
Fig. A4. Coupling angle measured in a prism coupling experiment with a DAT2 crystalline thin film. The wave vector of the guided modes was along the crystallographic a-axis and the light was polarized parallel to the dielectric x 2 axes (TE-modes, full squares) or polarized perpendicular to the crystallographic ab-plane (TM modes, open dots). The solid lines are the least square theoretical fits to a model based on Eq.(A2) and the standard mode equation of a asymmetric step-index planar waveguide. The inset shows a typical reflected intensity in a coupling experiment as a function of the incidence angle on the hypotenuse of the prism. Note that prism coupling for TM and TE polarization was performed with the crystal on glass substrate and without a substrate respectively.
