Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Photonics
  • Crystal Engineering

Background:

  • Relaxor ferroelectric single crystals like PIN-PMN-PT exhibit exceptional electro-optic properties, crucial for advanced integrated modulators.
  • Current fabrication methods for optical waveguides in these materials often result in multi-mode propagation, limiting their use in applications like fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOGs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fabrication technique for high-quality, mode-selective optical waveguides in rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT.
  • To enable the use of PIN-PMN-PT in single-mode photonic devices, particularly for FOGs and miniaturized inertial navigation systems.

Main Methods:

  • Nickel in-diffusion technique applied to rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT single crystals.
  • Characterization of the resulting graded-index optical waveguide structures, including refractive index profile and mode selectivity.

Main Results:

  • Fabrication of high-quality optical waveguides with a Gaussian refractive index profile and a maximum refractive index change (Δn) of 1.53%.
  • Achieved precise transverse electric (TE) mode selectivity, enabling single-mode propagation.
  • Preservation of the single crystal structure throughout the fabrication process.

Conclusions:

  • The nickel in-diffusion technique successfully creates mode-selective waveguides in PIN-PMN-PT.
  • This method provides a viable platform for developing ultra-compact, low driving voltage modulators.
  • The findings support advancements in miniaturized inertial navigation and integrated photonic systems.
