Quantum Computing Inc. QUBT achieved a pivotal milestone with the shipment of its first commercial entangled photon source.

Lithium niobate is already one of the most widely used optical materials, well-known for its electro-optic properties but it is notoriously difficult to fabricate high-quality devices on a small ...

Using only a single-crystal piezoelectric thin wafer of lithium niobate (LN) instead of the usual two-part structure, a group ...

Lithium niobate is already one of the most widely used optical materials, well-known for its electro-optic properties, meaning it can efficiently convert electronic signals into optical signals.

AFR's 3 kW Laser Cavity Component integrates a high power (kW) laser combiner and a fiber bragg grating in a compact package that reduces fiber splicing, improves electro-optical efficiency, and ...

Researchers from the Illinois Grainger College of Engineering are the first to demonstrate a simple and tunable method for ...

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 ...

On-chip erbium-doped lithium niobate microcavity laser. Science China Press. Funder National Key R & D Program of China, Foundation for Development of Science and Technology of Shanghai, National ...

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 ...

Super-thin chips made from lithium niobate are set to overtake silicon chips in light-based technologies, with potential applications ranging from remote ripening-fruit detection on Earth to ...
