Stable thin-film lithium tantalate modulators operating at high temperature for uncooled operation

Ayed Al Sayem, Shiekh Zia Uddin, Ting-Chen Hu +4

We demonstrate stable operation of a thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT) modulator at very high operating temperatures. We show that the electro-optic modulation and bandwidth of th…

High-power handling and bias stability of thin-film Lithium Tantalate microring and coupling resonators

Ayed Sayem, Shiekh Zia Uddin, Ting-Chen Hu +4

In this paper, we demonstrate the ultra-high-power handling capability and DC bias stability of optical microring and electro-optic (EO) coupling resonators on the thin-film lithiu…

Unveiling charge dynamics on the generation of high extinction wide pulse generation on thin-film lithium tantalate

Ayed Al Sayem, Shiekh Zia Uddin, Ting-Chen Hu +6

We experimentally demonstrate high-extinction optical pulse generation in thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT), achieving a wide range of pulse widths with sharp rise and fall edges,…

Record Photon Information Efficiency with Optical Clock Transmission and Recovery of 12.5 bits/photon over an Optical Channel with 77 dB Loss

René-Jean Essiambre, Cheng Guo, Sai Kanth Dacha +18

We experimentally demonstrate optical detection at 12.5~bits per incident photon, 9.4~dB higher than the theoretical limit of conventional coherent detection. A single laser transm…

Ultrabroadband Polarization Insensitive Hybrid using Multiplane Light Conversion

Nicolas K. Fontaine, Yuanhang Zhang, Haoshuo Chen +10

We designed, fabricated and tested an optical hybrid that supports an octave of bandwidth (900-1800 nm) and below 4-dB insertion loss using multiplane light conversion. Measured ph…

A tunable FP Perot coupling interferometer on thin-film lithium niobate

Ayed Al Sayem, Heqing Huang, Ting-Chen Hu +4

We experimentally show an electro-optic tunable Fabry-Perot cavity on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). Instead of tuning the cavity phase and thus resonant frequency, we demonstra…
