Lithium niobate (LiNbO ) on insulator (LNOI) is a promising material platform for integrated photonics due to single crystal LiNbO film’s wide transparent window, high refractive index, and high second-order nonlinearity. Based on LNOI, the fast-developing ridge-waveguide fabrication techniques enab...
