Tunable Ultranarrowband Grating Filters in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate

Alessandro Prencipe et al.

Summary: Phase-shifted Bragg grating filters implemented in thin film lithium niobate demonstrate narrowband operation at telecom wavelengths with high extinction ratios. By leveraging the strong electro-optic effect in lithium niobate, combined with tight light confinement of nanophotonic wires and optimized grating structures, electric tunability in peak wavelength and transmission is achieved. These results pave the way for reconfigurable narrowband photonic filters with a small footprint and low consumption, suitable for on-chip quantum and nonlinear optics, optical sensing, and microwave photonics.
