Abstract
The photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) possesses remarkable capabilities in manipulating light beams and light–matter interactions within the subwavelength range. This property renders it a highly promising structure for the miniaturization of optical devices. We delve into the mode characteristics in two-dimensional PCWs on thin film lithium niobate, establish the correlation between the single-mode region in the PCW and its photonic crystal duty cycle, and observe mode hybridization in the waveguide. A lithium niobate PCW with sidewall angles can realize single-mode transmission or mode conversion by adjusting the width of its defective waveguides, and it is theoretically and experimentally verified that a change in the width of the waveguide shifts the operating wavelength. The results of the mode analysis are useful in the design of waveguide structures for photonic crystal-based electro-optical modulators and optical sensors.
