A semi-nonlinear waveguide in etchless silicon nitride/lithium niobate thin film based on bound states in the continuum achieves high-efficiency second harmonic generation, because it can flexibly ...

Lithium niobate modulators are the backbone of modern telecommunications, converting electronic data to optical information at the end of fiber optic cables. But it is notoriously difficult to ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240114, discusses an ultra-high-Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavity for etchless lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) platform.

Lithium niobate is inert, however, so it cannot be chemically etched. Mechanical etching is also difficult given the hardness of the material. Loncar and colleagues used standard Ar+ plasma etching to ...

Lithium niobate has come back into vogue because of its superior capabilities and advances in manufacturing mean that the material is now readily available as thin films on semiconductor wafers.” A ...

New Delhi, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global lithium niobate thin film market was valued at US$ 218.81 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 395.56 million by 2033, at a CAGR ...

In their new study, detailed in Nature, the researchers, led by EPFL’s Tobias Kippenberg, assembled a hybrid device by integrating a distributed feedback laser and a silicon nitride–lithium niobate ...

What is lithium niobate and how can it be used? Lithium niobate is an artificial crystal that was first discovered in 1949 but is "back in vogue," according to Boes.

Dec 15, 2023: Combining diamond and lithium niobate as a core component for future quantum technologies (Nanowerk News) Quantum information scientists are always on the hunt for winning combinations ...

Now, Laura Valencia Molina at the Australian National University in Canberra and her colleagues have discovered that a film made of lithium niobate, coated with silicon dioxide gratings, performs ...
