Abstract

A platform for the realization of tightly-confined lithium niobate photonic devices and circuits on silicon substrates is reported based on wafer bonding and selective oxidation of refractory metals. The heterogeneous photonic platform is employed to demonstrate high-performance lithium niobate microring optical resonators and Mach-Zehnder optical modulators. A quality factor of ~7.2 × 104 is measured in the microresonators, and a half-wave voltage-length product of 4 V.cm and an extinction ratio of 20 dB is measured in the modulators.

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Typical ranges of effective areas and minimum radii for negligible (< ~0.1 dB) bending loss at 90° bends are shown for different waveguides technologies. ∆n denotes the rough refractive index contrast between core and cladding of the waveguides.

Fig. 2 (a) Schematics of the demonstrated microring resonators and Mach-Zehnder modulators are shown. The top SiO2 cladding layer and the ultrathin SiO2 diffusion barrier shown in (b) are omitted here for simplification. The dimensions are not in scale; (b) Cross-section of the waveguide structure at one arm of the modulator with typical dimensions. The different layers are Si (substrate), SiO2 (claddings and diffusion barrier regions), LiNbO3 (core and active region), Ta2O5 (loaded rib), Au (metallic contact). Shown also is a simplistic RF electric-field profile in the LiNbO3 active region; (c) Top-view high-magnification optical microscope image of a fabricated ring-resonator with input and output bent bus waveguides; (d) SEM image of cross-section of a fabricated waveguide.
