Observation of Fundamental Charge Noise in Electro-Optic Photonic Integrated Circuits

Tobias Kippenberg, Zihan Li, Junyin Zhang, Guanhao Huang

We observed that Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate photonic integrated microresonators exhibit an unexpected Flicker type (i.e. 1/f1.2) scaling in the intrinsic refractive noise spectrum, significantly deviating from the well-established thermorefracti ...
