Acousto-optic modulation in lithium niobate on sapphire
Christopher J. Sarabalis, Timothy P. McKenna, Rishi N. Patel +2
We demonstrate acousto-optic phase modulators in X-cut lithium niobate films on sapphire, detailing the dependence of the piezoelectric and optomechanical coupling coefficients on…
Nanobenders: efficient piezoelectric actuators for widely tunable nanophotonics at CMOS-level voltages
Wentao Jiang, Felix M. Mayor, Rishi N. Patel +3
Tuning and reconfiguring nanophotonic components is needed to realize systems incorporating many components. The electrostatic force can deform a structure and tune its optical res…
Efficient bidirectional piezo-optomechanical transduction between microwave and optical frequency
Wentao Jiang, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Yanni D. Dahmani +5
Efficient interconversion of both classical and quantum information between microwave and optical frequency is an important engineering challenge. The optomechanical approach with…
Piezoelectric transduction of a wavelength-scale mechanical waveguide
Yanni D. Dahmani, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Wentao Jiang +2
We present a piezoelectric transducer in thin-film lithium niobate that converts a 1.7 GHz microwave signal to a mechanical wave in a single mode of a 1 micron-wide waveguide. We m…
Mechanical Purcell Filters for Microwave Quantum Machines
Agnetta Y. Cleland, Marek Pechal, Pieter-Jan C. Stas +2
In circuit quantum electrodynamics, measuring the state of a superconducting qubit introduces a loss channel which can enhance spontaneous emission through the Purcell effect, thus…
The role of resonance and bandgaps in high transducers
Christopher J. Sarabalis, Yanni D. Dahmani, Agnetta Y. Cleland +1
Bandgaps formed in a piezoelectric transducer with large coupling, , qualitatively modify its electrical response. This regime in which electrical loading strongl…
