Abstract
En 中文
Miniaturized Fourier transform spectrometers are pivotal for emerging applications in chemical sensing, biomedical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. However, achieving broadband and polarization-insensitive operation on a chip remains challenging. This work reports a thin-film lithium niobate-based Fourier transform spectrometer that overcomes this limitation via a polarization-diversity architecture integrating edge couplers, broadband polarization splitters–rotators, and a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The device operates over a 340-nm bandwidth (1260–1600 nm) with a spectral resolution of 1.8 nm at 1550 nm. It enables high-speed spectral acquisition with a 50-µs acquisition time and an energy consumption of 4.59 µJ per acquisition. This work brings integrated Fourier transform spectrometers significantly closer to practical deployment in compact, low-power, and polarization-independent photonic systems.
