Reduced Dimensionality Lithium Niobate Microsystems

Technical Report Eichenfield, Matt

The following report describes work performed under the LDRD program at Sandia National Laboratories October 2014 and September 2016. The work presented demonstrates the ability of Sandia Labs to develop state-of-the-art photonic devices based on thin film lithium niobate (LiNbO ₃ ). Section 1 provides an introduction to integrated LiNbO ₃ devices and motivation for developing thin film nonlinear optical systems. Section 2 describes the design, fabrication, and photonic performance of thin film optical microdisks fabricated from bulk LiNbO ₃ using a bulk implantation method developed at Sandia.

Micro- and nano-domain engineering in lithium niobate

Journal Article Shur, V. Ya. ; Akhmatkhanov, A. R. ; Baturin, I. S. - Applied Physics Reviews

The physical basis of the domain engineering in ferroelectrics and its application to lithium niobate crystals were reviewed. The unified kinetic approach to the domain structure evolution in electric field was formulated and its validity for understanding the variety of observed domain evolution scenarios was demonstrated. The kinetics and statics of the domain structure in the crystals of lithium niobate family including congruent, stoichiometric, and MgO doped ones have been discussed. The main stages of the periodical poling process and related problems have been pointed out. The basic poling techniques applied for creation of the periodical domain structures in bulkmore »« less

Investigation of a Solid-State Tuning Behavior in Lithium Niobate

Conference Branch, Darren W. ; Nordquist, Christopher D. ; Eichenfield, Matthew ; ...

Electric field-based frequency tuning of acoustic resonators at the material level provides an enabling technology for building complex tunable filters. Tunable acoustic resonators were fabricated in thin plates (h/λ ~ 0.05) of X-cut lithium niobate (90°, 90°, ψ = 170°). Lithium niobate is known for its large electromechanical coupling (SH: K ² 40%) and thus applicability for low-insertion loss and wideband filter applications. We demonstrate the effect of a DC bias to shift the resonant frequency by ~0.4% by directly tuning the resonator material. The mechanism is based on the nonlinearities that exist in the piezoelectric properties of lithium niobate.more »« less

Advanced QPSK Optical Modulators Using Lithium Niobate Thin Films. Final scientific report

Technical Report Rabiei, Payam ; Toroghi, Seyfollah

Lithium niobate thin film based optical modulator devices have been produced using this SBIR award. A bonding apparatus was developed that was used to bond lithium niobate to silicon at room temperature. The bonding apparatus was designed,assembled and qualified for production of thin film substrates. The optical properties of ion sliced thin films produced using this bonding apparatus was optimized to achieve low loss optical waveguides. Optical grating coupler and other component of the proposed optical modulator were designed. Preliminary results show the proposed method for making optical modulator meets the required customer specifications. All the required process steps formore »« less
The atomic level journey from aqueous polyoxometalate to metal oxide

Journal Article Hou, Yu ; Fast, Dylan B. ; Ruther, Rose E. ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Aqueous precursors tailored for the deposition of thin film materials are desirable for sustainable, simple, low energy production of advanced materials. Yet the simple practice of using aqueous precursors is complicated by the multitude of interactions that occur between ions and water during dehydration. Here we use lithium polyoxoniobate salts to investigate the fundamental interactions in the transition from precursor cluster to oxide film. Small-angle X-ray scattering of solutions, total X-ray scattering of intermediate gels, and morphological and structural characterization of the lithium niobate thin films reveal the atomic level transitions between these states. The studies show that (1) lithium–[H{submore »« less
