Abstract:

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is a useful photonic material for its electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties. In this paper, I will report developments of LiNbO3 based optical devices for fiber communication, including high-performance modulators and high efficiency wavelength converters.

Key words:
