Replica-molded high-Q polymer microresonators.
Ultrahigh-Q microtoroids on a chip are applied as replication masters to demonstrate replica-molded high-Q microresonator arrays. Replica Q factors are nearly material loss limited, affirming the integrity of the replication process, and are as high as 5 x 10(6), or nearly a factor of 40 greater than previous polymer-based devices. Because the molding process is nondestructive, both the master ...
متن کاملMicro-Molded High Q Polymer Resonators for Optical Loss Determination
Replica molding of ultra-high-Q toroidal microresonators can produce polymer microresonators with material-limited quality factors (Q). This was demonstrated previously using polymers which cure thermally. In this work, high Q polymer microresonators were fabricated using the replica molding technique from previously uncharacterized polymers which require either a thermal or UV cure. The qualit...
متن کاملHigh Q SiC microresonators.
We demonstrate photonic devices based on standard 3C SiC epitaxially grown on silicon. We achieve high optical confinement by taking advantage of the high stiffness of SiC and undercutting the underlying silicon substrate. We demonstrate a 20 μm radius suspended microring resonator with Q=14,100 fabricated on commercially available SiC-on-silicon substrates.
متن کاملReplica-molded electro-optic polymer Mach–Zehnder modulator
A Mach–Zehnder electro-optic polymer amplitude modulator is fabricated by a simple and high-throughput soft-stamp replica-molding technique. The modulator structure incorporates the highly nonlinear and stable chromophore, AJL8, doped in amorphous polycarbonate. Single-arm phase-retardation results in a halfwave voltage sVpd of 8.4 V at 1600 nm. The on/off extinction ratio is better than 19 dB,...
متن کاملFundamental limits in high-Q droplet microresonators
Liquid droplet whispering-gallery-mode microresonators open a new research frontier for sensing, optomechanics and photonic devices. At visible wavelengths, where most liquids are transparent, a major contribution to a droplet optical quality factor is expected theoretically from thermal surface distortions and capillary waves. Here, we investigate experimentally these predictions using transie...
