Editorial for special issue on lithium niobate based photonic devices
Feng Chen, and Yuping Chen
Lithium niobate (LiNbO3), so-called “Silicon in Photonics,” is a multifunctional crystal with a combination of a number of excellent physical properties. In optics and photonics, the LiNbO3-based devices, such as modulators, wavelength converters, waveguide amplifiers, and quantum photonic chips, have been realized and widely applied in various areas. In addition to the traditional waveguides, the LiNbO3 on insulators (LNOI) technology enables fabrication of large-scale, high-quality LiNbO3 thin film wafers, boosting the development of thin film LiNbO3-based devices; consequently, versatile applications have been realized to satisfy the small footprint for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Aiming to present the impressive progresses in this field, Chinese Optics Letters publishes this special issue focusing on the fabrication of new LNOI wafers, new design of LNOI-based structures, and the intriguing applications of LNOI-based devices in selected active topics.
