Abstract
AbstractLithium niobate on insulator emerges as a promising platform for integrated microwave photonics because of its capability of ultralow‐loss guidance and high‐efficiency modulation of light. Chip‐level integration of microwave filters is important for signal processing in the 5G/6G wireless communication. Here, by employing bound states in the continuum for low‐loss waveguiding, high‐performance microwave photonic filters are realized on an etchless lithium niobate integrated platform. These microwave photonic filters consist of a high‐quality photonic microcavity modulated by piezoelectrically excited surface acoustic waves. Acoustic time delays from 21 to 106 ns and passbands with bandwidth as narrow as 0.89 MHz are achieved in the fabricated filters operating at gigahertz frequencies. This demonstration may open up new applications on the lithium niobate integrated platform, such as optical communication, signal processing, and beam steering.
