Modulators and photonic components integrated into lithium niobate - Principle and technology

APE – Annealed Proton Exchange

Technology enabling the creation of an index gradient waveguide beneath the surface of a lithium niobate crystal. This process is characterized by the fact that only one polarization direction is supported, making it a polarizing optical waveguide.

BPM – Beam Propagation Method

Numerical simulation program for the propagation of light in a guided optics circuit.

CPW –

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) is a type of transmission line where all conductors are located on one side of a dielectric substrate.

DWDM –

Optical multiplexing technology that allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously through a single optical fiber, each encoded on a predetermined wavelength channel....
