Abstract: An integrated electro-optic frequency comb generator based on ultralow loss integrated, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, platform, which enables low power consumption comb generation spanning over a wider range of optical frequencies. The comb generator includes an intensity modulator, and at least one phase modulator, which provides a powerful technique to generate a broad high power comb, without using an optical resonator. A compact integrated electro-optic modulator based frequency comb generator, provides the benefits of integrated, e.g. lithium niobate, platform including low waveguide loss, high electro-optic modulation efficiency, small bending radius and flexible microwave design.

Abstract: An optical device is described. The optical device includes a waveguide and a modulation driver. The waveguide includes a first region, a second region, and a tapered region between the first and second regions. The first region supports a first set of modes of an optical signal. The second region supports a second set of modes of the optical signal. The first set of modes is different from the second set of modes. The tapered region is between the first region and the second region. The waveguide includes lithium. The modulation driver is configured to provide modulation of the optical signal in the first region.

Abstract: An optical modulator that uses adiabatic tapers to change the width of the waveguides between multimode waveguides and single mode waveguides on a low-loss, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, electro-optic platform. The architecture enables the utilization of the fundamental mode of multimode wide optical waveguides that have lower optical propagation loss without sacrificing the benefit of the signal integrity and ease of control of single mode operation.
