Abstract

Refractive index engineering (RI-Eng) by ion implantations is a generic methodology for constructing multi-component integrated circuits of electrooptic and nanophotonic devices with sub-wavelength features operating in the visible - near IR wavelengths. The essence of the method is to perform spatially selective implantations for sculpting complex 3D pre-designed amorphized patterns with sub-wavelength features and reduced refractive index within the volume of the substrate. A number of devices that were constructed in a substrate of potassium lithium tantalate niobate are described, including a submerged slab waveguide, an optical wire and a channel waveguide array.
