Recently, LNOI photonics technology has attracted attention as a photonics platform capable of integrating ultra-high-speed, low power consumption, and high nonlinearity optical devices, as it is possible to manufacture LiNbO₃ optical waveguides with ultra-low optical loss and a radius of curvature of several tens of micrometers. Here, we will briefly compare various photonics platforms, such as Si, InP, SiN, and LNOI, describe the current research trends of LNOI photonics, and discuss the direction of photonics technology at the conclusion.

Biophotonics is an emerging area in a fusion of biology and photonics, especially in advanced bioimaging, optical biosensors, photomodulation, and biochip optical read-out, and optical manipulation. This emerging area also creates many opportunities for interdisciplinary study of biology and photonics. Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System(MEMS) is an attractive technology in miniaturizing sensors and actuactors. For last decade, it has contributed to the development for active and passive small and integrated optical components in optical communication. Recently, this technology is also merging into biology for high sensitive biosensing and high resolution and fast bioimaging in small form factor. In this talk, some key advantages of small optical components and recent biophotonic MEMS achievement will be discussed for miniaturized advanced biophotonic systems.

$Si_3N_4$ rib-optical waveguides for evanescent-wave integrated-optical biosensors were analytically interpreted, to derive the single-mode propagation conditions. The integrated-optical biosensor structure based on two-mode interference was proposed, and the rib width and thickness and core thickness for a single-mode and two-mode waveguide (sensing region) were proposed to be $3{\mu}m$, 2 nm, and 150 nm and $3{\mu}m$, 20 nm, and 340 nm respectively. The optical characteristics of each guided-wave mode were investigated utilizing the film mode-matching (FMM) analysis.

We present the enhancement of narrowband modulation response of an optical source by integrating a dual-electrode distributed feedback (DFB) laser with an electro-absorption modulator (EAM). The dual-electrode DFB laser exhibits a multiple optical modes owing to a self-pulsation in GHz range. By modulating the laser and modulator sections of the integrated device simultaneously, 20-dB of narrowband modulation response enhancement at 6 GHz with 7-GHz tuning range has been observed.

We optimized the Si(substrate)/$SiO_2$(cladding)/$Si_3N_4$(antiresonant cladding)/$SiO_2$(core)/air multi-layers rib-optical waveguides of antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) for integrated optical biosensor structure utilizing beam propagation method (BPM). Thickness of anti-resonant cladding was derived to minimize the propagation loss and leaky field mode deeply related with evanescent mode was theoretically derived. Depth, width, refractive index and cladding thickness of anti-resonant cladding were numerically calculated into 2.3${\mu}m$, 5${\mu}m$, 1.488, and 0.11${\mu}m$ respectively to minimize propagation loss using the BPM simulation tool. Finally one- and two-dimensional propagation characteristics of ARROW was confirmed.

We first numerically analyzed the characteristics of a silicon-based grating structure for beam steering. The analysis includes the basic principle of the grating structure according to the wavelength, peak radiation angle, radiation efficiency, and full-width at the half maximum(FWHM) of the radiation angle. Based on the analysis, we propose a silicon-based grating structure integrated with distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) to obtain a high radiation efficiency and narrow beam width simultaneously. We performed the numerical optimization of the radiation efficiency and FWHM of the radiation angle according to the DBR position. By the design optimization using the proposed grating structure compatible with the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor(CMOS) process, we achieved a maximum radiation efficiency of 87.1% and minimum FWHM of radiation angle of $4.68^{\circ}$.

In this study we report a wet-etching-based fabrication method for adiabatic optical-fiber tapers (OFTs), and describe their adiabaticity and HE₁₁ mode evolution at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The profile of the fabricated system satisfies the adiabaticity properties well, and the far-field pattern from the etched OFT shows that the fundamental HE₁₁ mode is maintained without a higher-order mode coupling throughout the tapers. In addition, the measured far-field pattern agrees well with the simulated result. The proposed adiabatic OFTs can be applied to a number of photonic applications, especially fiber-chip packages. Based on the fabricated adiabatic OFT structures, the optical transmission to the inversely tapered silicon waveguide shows large spatial-dimensional tolerances for 1 dB excess loss of ~60 ㎛ (silicon waveguide angle of 1°) and insertion loss of less than 0.4 dB (silicon waveguide angle of 4°), from the numerical simulation. The proposed adiabatic coupler shows the ultrabroadband coupling efficiency over the O- and C-bands.
