Abstract
Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is an attractive platform for photonic applications on account of its wide bandgap, its large electro-optic coefficient, and its large nonlinearity. Since these characteristics are used in systems that require a coherent light source, size, weight, power, and cost can be reduced and reliability enhanced by combining TFLN processing and heterogeneous laser fabrication. Here, we report the fabrication of laser devices on a TFLN wafer and also the coprocessing of five different GaAs-based III-V epitaxial structures, including InGaAs quantum wells and InAs quantum dots. Lasing is observed at wavelengths near 930, 1030, and 1180 nm, which, if frequency-doubled using TFLN, would produce blue, green, and orange visible light. A single-sided power over 25 mW is measured with an integrating sphere.
