摘要： We report on the realization of adiabatic light transfer in lithium niobate (LiNbO ) waveguides. This peculiar adiabatic tunneling scheme was implemented in a three-waveguide coupling configuration with the intermediate waveguide being inclined with respect to the outer waveguides to facilitate the adiabatic passage process. We have investigated and determined the adiabatic conditions of the LiNbO device in terms of the structure configuration of the waveguide system and found optimal structure parameters by both simulation and experimental approaches. Broadband adiabatic couplings of bandwidth ~456 and 185 nm and peak coupling efficiencies of >0.96 have been obtained with a 2-cm long device for TE- and TM-polarized fundamental modes, respectively. Longer (5 cm) devices were also studied and found to be useful in increasing the adiabaticity of the device, especially for the TM-polarized mode. 其他題名： Opt Express 出版者： United States 出版日期： 2015-11-30 出處： Optics express, 2015-11, Vol.23 (24), p.30641-30650 資源來源： Optica Publishing Group Journals 識別號： ISSN: 1094-4087 識別號： EISSN: 1094-4087 識別號： DOI: 10.1364/OE.23.030641 識別號： PMID: 26698696
