Channel waveguides at 1540 nm in X- and Z-cut LiNbO3 are formed by one-step multienergy MeV O2+ implantation. Single perpendicular mode in both planar and channel waveguides is demonstrated. In the ne channel waveguide, double transverse modes are observed because of the large index difference and broad width of the channel. A single transverse mode is obtained in the no channel waveguide. The thickness of the waveguide is less than 2 mum, and the compactness of the waveguide is attributed to the large index difference between the guiding region and the low-index barrier. The mode patterns and the waveguide loss are measured and analyzed. The loss of 0.9 and 0.7 dB/cm are obtained from the no and ne channel waveguides, respectively.

Photonic manipulation of large-capacity data with the advantages of high speed and low power consumption is a promising solution for explosive growth demands in the era of post-Moore. A well-developed lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform has been widely explored for high-performance electro-optic (EO) modulators to bridge electrical and optical signals. However, the photonic waveguides on the x-cut LNOI platform suffer serious polarization-mode conversion/coupling issues because of strong birefringence, making it hard to realize large-scale integration.

Improved S-bend optical waveguide loss formula verified by experiments.

Curvature of a dielectric waveguide always leads to attenuation of the mode power as it propagates through the curved region. In single mode guides, bending loss becomes significant as the radius of curvature reduces and is strongly dependent on the confinement of the guided mode, so that weakly guiding waveguides can tolerate only large radii of curvature. In this paper we verify our new theoretical version on power loss prediction of S-bend optical waveguides by using analytical theory based on integration of absorption coefficient and compare it to the experimental measurement of such waveguide bends.

A wavelength demodulation method for ultra-short fiber Bragg grating (US-FBG) sensors based on an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) and a convex optimization algorithm is proposed and demonstrated. Instead of measuring the output power ratio of the two adjacent AWG channels as previously done, in this work the wavelength demodulation is realized by reconstructing the US-FBG spectrum. The principle of spectral reconstruction involves using an AWG to sample the spectral information of US-FBG and constructing underdetermined matrix equations with the obtained prior information on transmission responses and the detected output power from multiple AWG channels.
