Long-wavelength Ti:LiNbO 3 wavguide electro-optic TE↔TM convertor

Abstract
We report the demonstration of a long-wavelength (λ ~ 1.35 μm) waveguide electro-optic TE↔TM convertor. Using a Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide and a 5 mm-long interdigital electrode, essentially complete mode conversion (98%) has been achieved with an applied voltage of 17 V. The spectral bandwidth of the wavelength-selective TE ↔ TM conversion, measured with a tunable infra-red colour-centre laser, is 36 Å (FWHM).
