Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) are promising to overcome the wavelength coverage and noise limitations in conventional optical amplifiers based on rare-earth doping and semiconductor gain. However, the high power requirement remains a major obstacle to the widespread use of OPAs. Integrated OPAs …

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) plays a significant role in modern photonic technology. Integrated photonic resonators fabricated with thin-film lithium niobate can achieve ultrahigh efficiencies by combining small mode volumes with high material nonlinearity. Cavity-enhanced SHG requires accurate phase and frequency matching conditions, where …

We show that it is unreliable to determine the coupling condition of optical resonances by analyzing the extinction ratio change with wavelengths. We propose and demonstrate the unambiguous discrimination between under- and over-coupled resonances using binary phase modulation in power transmission measurement.

Optical isolators are an essential component of photonic systems. Current integrated optical isolators have limited bandwidths due to stringent phase-matching conditions, resonant structures, or material absorption. Here, we demonstrate a wideband integrated optical isolator in thin-film lithium niobate photonics. We use dynamic …

Current integrated optical isolators have limited bandwidths due to stringent phase-matching, resonant structures, or absorption. We demonstrate broadband optical isolation in thin-film lithium niobate that simultaneously achieves ∼ 100 nm isolation bandwidth at visible and telecom wavelengths.
