Experimental study demonstrates modal characterization using weak Bragg gratings in zinc-doped lithium niobate waveguides, suggesting improved frequency conversion control.
We present our research on utilizing weak Bragg grating reflectors to assess the uniformity of zinc-doped lithium niobate ridge waveguides, aiming to optimize frequency conversion. These gratings are fabricated through ablation using a pulsed 213nm laser within a phase-controlled interferometric system, providing sub-nanometer period accuracy. By employing gratings we spectrally and spatially characterize the modal properties of our waveguides, enabling direct analysis of process variability. Through this analysis, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the effective index variation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides, with the ultimate goal of reducing it and improving frequency conversion.
