New Techniques for Heterogeneous Integration for Optical Sensing Systems

Abstract

During the two-year duration of this program, we accomplished or made significant progress in three objectives for specific integrated optical systems. The general technology focus was to develop practical methods for reducing the physical dimensions of optical circuits through manipulation of the device geometry and refractive-index profile and develop several new integrated optical devices on LiNbO3 devices. Our research on LiNbO3 has yielded a new low voltage E/O scanner, techniques for poling thin crystal ion slicing (CIS) LiNbO3 films for integrated photonics applications, and several silicon-on-insulator-based integrated-optic components having new and important functionality.
