Tailoring the dispersion behavior of optical nanowires with intercore-cladding lithium niobate thin film
Abstract:
The dispersion properties of silica and silicon subwavelength-diameter wires with intercore-cladding uniaxial dielectric lithium niobate thin film has been studied numerically in detail. The waveguide dispersion shifts centered around 1550-nm wavelength have been investigated. It shows that the dispersion of optical nanowires with intercore-cladding lithium niobate thin film is highly sensitive to fiber geometry. Moreover, with applied electric field, considerable dispersion shifts without changing its geometric structure can be obtained. Our work may provide an inroad for developing miniaturized functional optoelectronic devices.
