Mid-IR supercontinuum generation in a silicon nitride loaded lithium niobate on sapphire waveguide
In spectroscopy, having access to a wide range of wavelengths within the mid-infrared region is crucial for conducting thorough and versatile analyses. In our research, we successfully demonstrate numerically the generation of supercontinuum within a waveguide made of silicon nitride loaded onto lithium niobate on a sapphire substrate, with a specific focus on the mid-infrared wavelength range. By implementing effective lateral leakage and dispersion engineering techniques, we have significantly broadened our system’s spectral range, covering wavelengths from the near-infrared (near-IR) to the mid-infrared (mid-IR) regions. Our results indicate that when a silicon nitride-loaded lithium niobate waveguide is excited with a commercially available femtosecond fiber laser pump at 2070 nm, it has the capability to produce a supercontinuum that spans more than one octave within the mid-infrared wavelength range.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
