Abstract
We demonstrate a compact hybrid lithium niobate microring laser by butt coupling a commercial 980-nm pump laser diode chip with a high-quality Er3+-doped lithium niobate microring chip. Single-mode lasing emission at 1531-nm wavelength from the Er3+-doped lithium niobate microring can be observed with the integrated 980-nm laser pumping. The compact hybrid lithium niobate microring laser occupies the chip size of 3 mm × 4 mm × 0.5 mm. The threshold pumping laser power is 6 mW and the threshold current is 0.5 A (operating voltage 1.64 V) at atmospheric temperature. The spectrum featuring single-mode lasing with small linewidth of 0.05 nm is observed. This work explores a robust hybrid lithium niobate microring laser source which has potential applications in coherent optical communication and precision metrology.
