On-chip single-mode thin film lithium niobate laser based on Sagnac loop reflectors

We demonstrate an on-chip single-mode Er3+-doped thin film lithium niobate (Er: TFLN) laser which consists of a Fabry-P\'erot (FP) resonator based on Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs). The fabricated Er: TFLN laser has a footprint of 6.5 mmx1.5 mm with a loaded quality (Q) factor of 1.6x105 and a free spectral range (FSR) of 63 pm. We generate the single-mode laser around 1550-nm wavelength with a maximum output power of 44.7 {\mu}W and a slope efficiency of 0.18 %.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

An on-chip tunable micro-disk laser fabricated on Er3+ doped lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI)

We demonstrate a C-band wavelength-tunable microlaser with an Er3+ doped high quality (~1.02x10^6) lithium niobate microdisk resonator. With a 976 nm continuous-wave pump laser, lasing action can be observed at a pump power threshold as low as ~250 {\mu}W at room temperature. Furthermore, the microdisk laser wavelength can be tuned by varying the pump laser power, showing a tuning efficiency of ~-17.03 pm/mW at low pump power blow 13 mW, and 10.58 pm/mW at high pump power above 13 mW
