REVIEW PAPER FOR DEVELOPMENTS IN ARRAY WAVEGUIDE

Lithium Niobate Array Waveguide Grating

Lithium Niobate Array Waveguide Grating

We design and fabricate an eight-channel thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) and demonstrate the electro-optical tunability of the device. The transmission of the fabri-cated TFLN AWG near the central wavelength of 1550 nm is. Arrayed waveguide grating is a versatile and scalable integrated light dispersion device, which has been widely adopted in various applications, including, optical communications and optical sensing.

What is an automated fiber optic array assembly device

What is an automated fiber optic array assembly device

Fully automated, industry-qualified assembly for optoelectronics and singulated photonic devices and PICs. Optical fiber arrays are essential devices for high-speed, large-capacity optical communication and data processing systems. ficonTEC provides automated stand-alone and in-line micro-assembly and testing solutions for the photonics industry, and is continually and actively involved in several internationally-supported initiatives, internally driven research projects as well as case-studies. Fiber Arrays (FAs) are foundational components that enable this alignment by organizing multiple optical fibers into a compact and highly accurate format.

Planar optical waveguide core

Planar optical waveguide core

The waveguide consists of a semi-infinite slab of dielectric materials with thickness d and refractive index n 1 (the core) that is sandwiched between two regions (the cladding) both of refractive index n 2, and where n 1>n 2. One essential el-ement is the guiding of the optical radiation in waveguides for integrated optical devices and optical fibers for long distance transmission. The same mathematical ideas can be applied (with minor modifications) to circular waveguides. The waveguide core size of the fundamental mode in the waveguide direction (y axis) can be enlarged to 400 μm by introducing the refractive index matching and mode competition, to increase single-pass gain of the waveguide while ensuring good beam quality in the y -axis direction.
