Femtosecond laser writing of S-curved dual-line waveguides in BGO crystal for mid-infrared band application
We report on the fabrication of S-curved dual-line optical waveguides in cubic bismuth germanate (Bi4Ge3O12, BGO) crystal using femtosecond laser direct writing. Three S-curved waveguides based on Type II configuration are successfully fabricated with lateral offsets of 50 μm, 100 μm, and 150 μm between their input and output ports. These waveguides are characterized at full-wavelength from visible to mid-infrared band (MIR), showing good guiding properties. The experimentally measured modal profiles of these S-curved waveguides show good agreement with simulation results at 4 μm. Bending losses for all curved waveguides are less than ∼1.6 dB/cm. Our work not only validates the feasibility of BGO-based waveguides for stable mid-infrared light transmission, but also establishes an effective approach for constructing broadband-integrated photonics circuits via laser-written crystalline waveguides.
