Three-Dimensional Integrated Photonic-Phononic Circuit
The coherent optomechanical interaction between acoustic and optical waves known as stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) can enable ultra-high resolution signal processing and narrow linewidth lasers important for next-generation wireless communications, precision sensing, quantum information processing, and many more. But the proliferation of such a unique and powerful technology is currently impeded by fundamental challenges associated with circuit integration of Brillouin optomechanics in a versatile and mass producible material platform such as silicon nitride. The absence of acoustic guiding and the infinitesimal photo-elastic response of standard silicon nitride devices render…
