A tunable FP Perot coupling interferometer on thin-film lithium niobate

Optics 2025-09-11 v2

Abstract

We experimentally show an electro-optic tunable Fabry-Perot cavity on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). Instead of tuning the cavity phase and thus resonant frequency, we demonstrate modulation of the FP cavity by tuning the cavity mirrors via the electro-optic effect in the couplers. We enable full tuning of a low-Q FP cavity with only 3.5 V Vpi and a very short 3.5 mm long Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) mirror.
