| Resumo: | We report on the fabrication and characterization of femtosecond laser micromachined depressed cladding waveguides in lithium niobate crystal. The cladding structures support two-dimensional guidance of light from the visible to the mid-infrared spectral regimes. Particularly, singlemode propagation of light at a wavelength of 4 μm has been achieved for the waveguides with diameter of 50 μm. It is also found that the thermal annealing treatment reduces the propagation loss lower than 0.5 dB/cm at 1.064 μm, exhibiting good transmission properties for photonic applications. |
