Where to Buy Waveguides

Teem Photonics offers photonic integrated circuits based on its versatile and cost effective IoNext platform. Specifics include high quality waveguides with high or variable confinement for mode diameters from 3 to 20 μm, propagation losses below 0.1 dB/cm, low bending radius (<1 mm), efficient coupling to single-mode fibers (<0.2 dB loss), low polarization-dependent loss and a large optical bandwidth range (400–2100 nm).

Octave Photonics provides supercontinuum generation waveguides that are packaged into easy-to-use devices. These devices feature standard fiber connectors and enable femtosecond lasers to be broadened to octave-spanning supercontinuum with low pulse energies (<150 pJ). The devices can be customized depending on the desired output spectrum.

Shalom EO offers MgO:PPLN waveguide chips for SHG of 976 nm, 1029 nm, 1064 nm, 1545 nm, 1550 nm, 1560 nm and 2100 nm. Products for SFG, DFG and OPO applications are also available.

Periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides are a type of high efficiency nonlinear optical crystals, which cover a extremely wide wavelength conversion spectral range of 0.4 μm to 5.0 μm. The 5% MgO doping in LiNbO₃ increases the optical resistance of the crystals and significantly improves its damage threshold. Visit our website for more information.

Covesion’s component waveguides are designed for researchers and OEM’s who require reliable output power from a few mW to over 2 W. The range are fully compatible with our OC2 and OC3 temperature controllers. The Component Waveguides are available in fibre in/fibre out and fibre in/free space out formats at 1535–1565 nm pump.

HC Photonics (HCP) provides high conversion efficiency PPLN waveguides (periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides) to enable full-spectrum applications (i.e. single photon or Solc filter modulator) available for up-conversion (SHG/SFG) and down-conversion (DFG/OPA/OPG) frequency mixing configurations.

Two types of the waveguide are available to fulfill different applications. One is a proton-exchanged waveguide (up to 50 mm long) and the other one is ridge waveguide for high power handling (i.e. >2 W at 780 nm output). Tailored waveguides are available based on specific demands.
