abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the ultra-high-power handling capability and DC bias stability of optical microring and electro-optic (EO) coupling resonators on the thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT) platform. We show that, with annealing, oxide-cladded TFLT resonators can handle several watts (4W) of circulating power with minimal frequency shift and no observable photo-refractive effect. Furthermore, we demonstrate a compact 2mm coupling modulator achieving a low Vpi of 3V with stable bias and phase control in the telecom C-band.

First demonstration of stable bidirectional microwave-optical transduction in thin-film lithium tantalate with ~1 kHz coupling rates, multi-day static-bias operation, and low added noise.
Thin-film lithium tantalate modulators show unchanged modulation and bandwidth plus DC-bias stability at 120°C with 10% lower Vπ at elevated temperatures, enabling uncooled co-packaged optics.
