Dynamic control of high-voltage actuator arrays by light-pattern projection on photoconductive switches

Herbert Shea, Amir Firouzeh, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy, Vesna Bacheva, Aiste Balciunaite

The ability to control high-voltage actuator arrays relies, to date, on expensive microelectronic processes or on individual wiring of each actuator to a single off-chip high-voltage switch. Here we present an alternative approach that uses on-chip photoco ...

Hybrid Si3N4-LiNbO3 integrated platform for electro-optic conversion

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Junqiu Liu, Tianyi Liu

We demonstrate the integration of a Si3N4 Damascene photonic platform with thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) via direct wafer bonding. This process enables fabrication of hybrid chi((2))-chi((3)) microresonators with Q similar to 10(6), as well ...
