Narrowband Bragg reflectors in Ti:LiNbO3 optical waveguides and implantation to optical modulators
2007
Bragg grating reflectors etched in amorphous silicon overlay films have been integrated with Ti:LiNbO 3
optical waveguides. Narrow (0.05 nm) reflectance spectrum with > 20 dB dip in the transmittance
spectrum have been obtained at a wavelength of 1542.7 nm for TE polarization. The reflectance in the
channel waveguides depends strongly on the depth of the etched grating. The effect of the Bragg
waveguide loss factor on the transmittance and reflectance spectra is investigated using a model for
contradirectional coupling that includes an attenuation coefficient. Good agreement between model
predictions and experimental results is obtained. Applications of such integrated gratings in the fabrication
of distributed feedback type and Fabry-Perot type electrooptic intensity modulators, for low switching
voltage and high extinction needs, are demonstrated.
