On July 1, 2025, I presented an invited paper at the 30th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference / International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing 2025 (OECC/PSC 2025) in Sapporo (Japan).
The title of the paper is “Thin-Film Lithium Niobate at 1064 nm for Telecommunications and Sensing”, the work was supported in the framework of NRRP, Mission 4, Comp. 2, Invest. 1.1, Call for tender No. 1409 published on 14.9.2022 by the Italian MUR, funded by the EU – NextGenerationEU – Project PRIN 2022 PNRR LINUS, and in the framework of the FoReLab project (Dept. of Excellence).
Abastract: This paper explores waveguide geometries in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate at 1064 nm, comparing their electro-optic and loss performance. A novel etched rib-loaded geometry is introduced, which reduces optical losses while maintaining efficient electro-optic modulation.
