Miniaturized High-Q Silicon Nitride Resonators at Visible Wavelengths
08:30-08:45
2017-10-03 08:30 2017-10-03 08:45 America/Denver Miniaturized High-Q Silicon Nitride Resonators at Visible Wavelengths We present a simple device architecture enabled by an effective fabrication process to realize high-Q, ultra-compact microresonators with large free spectral ranges on silicon nitride at visible wavelengths. We demonstrate Qs >60 K for microdisks with radii as small as 2.5 μm. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon II

Integrated Polarization-Selective Microring Resonators and Beam Taps via Topographically Anisotropic Photonics
08:45-09:00
2017-10-03 08:45 2017-10-03 09:00 America/Denver Integrated Polarization-Selective Microring Resonators and Beam Taps via Topographically Anisotropic Photonics Topographically anisotropic photonics is used to demonstrate polarization-selective microring resonators and beam taps. Both fabricated devices exhibit strong polarization-selectivity. The beam tap is shown to be broadband, as it retains this selectivity over a bandwidth of over 80 nm.

Fully Integrated Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Modulator based on Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Etched in LNOI Platform
09:15-09:30
2017-10-03 09:15 2017-10-03 09:30 America/Denver Fully Integrated Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Modulator based on Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Etched in LNOI Platform An asymmetric Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator is fabricated through etching in 500nm thin film of Y-cut Lithium Niobate. A half wave voltage length product of 16.8Vcm and modulation efficiency of 9.4x10-3V-1 were measured for this device which is very close to what we expect from theory.
