Periodic domain inversion in x-cut single-crystal lithium niobate thin film

Journal Article Mackwitz, P., E-mail: peterm@mail.upb.de ; Rüsing, M. ; Berth, G. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report the fabrication of periodically poled domain patterns in x-cut lithium niobate thin-film. Here, thin films on insulator have drawn particular attention due to their intrinsic waveguiding properties offering high mode confinement and smaller devices compared to in-diffused waveguides in bulk material. In contrast to z-cut thin film lithium niobate, the x-cut geometry does not require back electrodes for poling. Further, the x-cut geometry grants direct access to the largest nonlinear and electro-optical tensor element, which overall promises smaller devices. The domain inversion was realized via electric field poling utilizing deposited aluminum top electrodes on a stack of LNmore »« less

“Seeing Is Believing”—In-Depth Analysis by Co-Imaging of Periodically-Poled X-Cut Lithium Niobate Thin Films

Journal Article Reitzig, Sven ; Rüsing, Michael ; Zhao, Jie ; ... - Crystals

Nonlinear and quantum optical devices based on periodically-poled thin film lithium niobate (PP-TFLN) have gained considerable interest lately, due to their significantly improved performance as compared to their bulk counterparts. Nevertheless, performance parameters such as conversion efficiency, minimum pump power, and spectral bandwidth strongly depend on the quality of the domain structure in these PP-TFLN samples, e.g., their homogeneity and duty cycle, as well as on the overlap and penetration depth of domains with the waveguide mode. Hence, in order to propose improved fabrication protocols, a profound quality control of domain structures is needed that allows quantifying and thoroughly analyzingmore »« less

Poling thin-film x-cut lithium niobate for quasi-phase matching with sub-micrometer periodicity

Journal Article Zhao, Jie ; Rüsing, Michael ; Roeper, Matthias ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Quasi-phase-matched grating structures in lithium niobate waveguides with sub-micrometer periodicities will benefit the development of short-wavelength nonlinear optical devices. Here, we report on the reproducible formation of periodically poled domains in x-cut single-crystalline thin-film lithium niobate with periodicities as short as 600 nm. Shaped single-voltage poling pulses were applied to electrode structures that were fabricated by a combination of electron-beam and direct-writing laser lithography. Evidence of successful poling with good quality was obtained through second-harmonic microscopy and piezoresponse force microscopy imaging. For the sub-micrometer period structures, we observed patterns with a double periodicity formed by domain interactions and features with sizesmore » <200 nm.« less

Second harmonic microscopy of poled x-cut thin film lithium niobate: Understanding the contrast mechanism

Journal Article Rüsing, M. ; Zhao, J. ; Mookherjea, S. - Journal of Applied Physics

Thin film lithium niobate has been of great interest recently, and an understanding of periodically poled thin films is crucial for both fundamental physics and device developments. Second-harmonic (SH) microscopy allows for the noninvasive visualization and analysis of ferroelectric domain structures and walls. While the technique is well understood in bulk lithium niobate, SH microscopy in thin films is largely influenced by interfacial reflections and resonant enhancements, which depend on film thicknesses and substrate materials. We present a comprehensive analysis of SH microscopy in x-cut lithium niobate thin films, based on a full three-dimensional focus calculation and accounting for interfacemore »« less

Shock-induced luminescence from X-cut quartz and Z-cut lithium niobate

Conference Brannon, P J ; Morris, R W ; Asay, J R

The spectral and spatial properties of shock-induced luminescence from X-cut quartz and Z-cut lithium niobate are observed using optical pyrometry and fast framing photography. In both cases the spatial emission patterns are heterogeneous for stresses just above dynamic yielding; the pattern becomes homogeneous to within the spatial resolution of the experiment as the stress is increased further. In addition, the luminescence in both cases increases abruptly after dynamic yielding. The emission spectrum from both samples is bank-like rather than blackbody and in the case of X-cut quartz is similar to the photoluminescence from structural defects.
