Nanostructuring of LNOI for efficient edge coupling
Abstract:
We present the design, fabrication and characterization of LNOI fiber-to-chip inverse tapers for efficient monolithic edge coupling. The etching characteristics of various LNOI crystal cuts are investigated for the realization of butt-coupling devices. We experimentally demonstrate that the crystal cut limits the performance of mode matching tapers studied in this work. We report a butt-coupling loss of 2.5±0.5 dB/facet across the C/L-band and 6 dB/facet (at 1550 nm) by implementing 200 nm tip mode matching tapers in +Z-cut LNOI and X-cut MgO:LNOI, respectively. We anticipate that these results will provide insight into the nanostructuring of LNOI and into the further development of efficient butt-coupling in this platform.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
