Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for fabricating KTP nonlinear racetrack micro-ring resonator, composed of six steps: KTP wafer processing, ion implantation, electron beam exposure, subsequent processing, reactive ion etching and final processing. A thin-film waveguide structure similar to the on-insulator lithium niobate thin-film can be achieved through only one process of ion implantation, which enables significantly simplified procedure, shortened time, and reduced cost. Meanwhile, the KTP micro-ring resonator produced according to the present invention has an optical damage threshold several times higher than the existing lithium niobate micro-ring resonator. It can output nonlinear frequency converted light to the power of milliwatts, and suitable for the case where both the input and output optical signals are pulsed lasers. Since Ion implantation, electron beam exposure, metal evaporation deposition, and reactive ion etching are all relatively developed micro-nano machining technologies, the present invention has wonderful operability and repeatability.
