| Abstract: | A novel temperature tuning technique for LiNbO3 electro-optic waveguide mode convertors is described. Operation of both X- and Z-cut LiNbO3 devices with greater than 99% conversion efficiency at the fixed wavelength of 1.52 ?m is reported and tuning rates of ?0.9 nm°C?1 and ?1.0 nm°C?1, respectively, demonstrated. |
