On-chip Single-mode Thin-film Lithium Niobate Fabry-Perot Resonator Laser Based on Sagnac Loop Reflectors

We demonstrate an on-chip single-mode Er-doped thin-film lithium niobate (Er:TFLN) laser which consists of a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator based on Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs). The fabricated Er:TFLN laser has a footprint of 6.5 mm × 1.5 mm with a loaded quality (Q) factor of 1.6 × 10 and a free spectral range (FSR) of 63 pm. We generate the single-mode laser at 1544 nm wavelength with a maximum output power of 44.7 µW and a slope efficiency of 0.18%.
