“…To date, one of the biggest challenges faced by programmable silicon photonics is the integration of low-loss non-volatile components in applications such as quantum computing [18,20,21], microwave photonics [14], neuromorphic computing [22,23], Internet of Things (IoT) [24], and machine learning [25]. Silicon nitride (SiNx) is one of the three currently commercially viable photonic platforms [26], the other two being silicon [27] and indium phosphide [28,29]. SiNx provides an alternative low-cost CMOS compatible platform and similar to the silicon platform all fundamental non amplifying photonic components can be implemented [30].…”

Photonic integrated circuits currently use platform intrinsic thermo-optic and electrooptic effects to implement dynamic functions such as switching, modulation and other processing. Currently, there is a drive to implement field programmable photonic circuits, a need which is only magnified by new neuromorphic and quantum computing applications. The most promising non-volatile photonic components employ phase change materials such as GST and GSST, which had their origin in electronic memory. However, in the optical domain, these compounds introduce significant losses potentially preventing a large number of applications. Here, we evaluate the use of two newly introduced low loss phase change materials, Sb 2 S 3 and Sb 2 Se 3 , on a silicon nitride photonic platform. We focus the study on Mach-Zehnder interferometers that operate at the O and C bands to demonstrate the performance of the system. Our measurements show an insertion loss below 0.04 dB/µm for Sb 2 S 3 and lower than 0.09 dB/µm for Sb 2 Se 3 cladded devices for both amorphous and crystalline phases. The effective refractive index contrast for Sb 2 S 3 on SiNx was measured to be 0.05 at 1310 nm and 0.02 at 1550 nm, whereas for Sb 2 Se 3 , it was 0.03 at 1310 nm and 0.05 at 1550 nm highlighting the performance of the integrated device.

“…At the moment, the integrated optical circuits based on silicon [4], InP [5] and thinfilm lithium niobate (LN) [6] are most actively developing. However, traditional diffusion technologies for the formation of waveguides in LN are the basis for commercial integratedoptical circuits, especially in the field of fiber-optic gyroscopes and navigation systems [7].…”

Reflectometry Study of the Pyroelectric Effect on Proton-Exchange Channel Waveguides in Lithium Niobate

et al. 2021

This work is devoted to the study of the pyroelectric effect on the properties of optical waveguides formed in a lithium niobate crystal by proton exchange. In the present work, we studied the cessation effect of the radiation channeling during thermocycling of Y-splitters samples. We examined the spectral dependence of optical losses on the wavelength using an optical spectrum analyzer. The results demonstrate that in the range of 1530–1570 nm, all wavelengths are suppressed equally. The optical frequency domain reflectometry shows that the increase of optical losses is observed along the entire waveguide, but not only at the Y-splitting point, as supposed earlier.

“…Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology enables a significant reduction in the cost, size, weight and power (CSWaP) of systems for free space communication and sensing applications [1][2][3][4][5][6]. This also enables the possibility to deploy photonic systems on small space platforms including CubeSats [5].…”
