Abstract
Thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) has the potential to revolutionize photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology, due to its ability to combine low optical loss, tight optical confinement, and active optical func-tions. In particular, the readily available electro-optic effect and 2 nd order nonlinear effect afford more unique functionalities to TFLN compared to other, more mature, PIC materials, including silicon (Si), silicon ni-tride ( SiN x ), silicon dioxide ( SiO 2 ) and in-dium phosphide (InP), while the refractive index contrast between TFLN waveguide and typical cladding materials such as SiO 2 is sufficiently large to sup-port relatively tight bending, leading to small component sizes.

薄膜铌酸锂(TFLN)具有结合低光学损耗、紧密光学约束和主动光学功能的能力,有可能彻底改变光子集成电路(PIC)技术。特别地,与其他更成熟的PIC材料(包括硅(Si)、氮化硅(SiNx)、二氧化硅(SiO2)和磷化铟(InP))相比,容易获得的电光效应和二阶非线性效应为TFLN提供了更独特的功能,而TFLN波导与诸如SiO2的典型包层材料之间的折射率对比度足够大以支持相对紧密的弯曲从而导致小的部件尺寸。(https://article focused on the nonlinear photonics in TFLN to enable
