AlGaN/AlN heterostructures: an emerging platform for integrated photonics. Gündoğdu, S., Pazzagli, S., Pregnolato, T., Kolbe, T., Hagedorn, S., Weyers, M., & Schröder, T. npj Nanophotonics, 2(1):1–8, January, 2025. Publisher: Nature Publishing Group
Paper doi abstract bibtex 3 downloads We introduce a novel material for integrated photonics and investigate aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) on aluminum nitride (AlN) templates as a platform for developing reconfigurable and on-chip nonlinear optical devices. AlGaN combines compatibility with standard photonic fabrication technologies and high electro-optic modulation capabilities with low loss over a broad spectral range, from UVC to long-wave infrared, making it a viable material for complex photonic applications. In this work, we design and grow AlGaN/AlN heterostructures and integrate several photonic components. In particular, we fabricate edge couplers, low-loss waveguides, directional couplers, and tunable high-quality factor ring resonators. These devices will enable nonlinear light-matter interaction and quantum functionality. The comprehensive platform we present in this work paves the way for photon-pair generation applications, on-chip quantum frequency conversion, and fast electro-optic modulation for switching and routing classical and quantum light fields.
