Description
Summary:We report a large group velocity dispersion of hybrid modes in a LiNbO3-on-insulator multimode rib waveguide. A peak dispersion of &#x00B1;49000 ps&#x002F;(nm.km) is obtained in the mode hybridization region between TE<sub>00</sub> and TM<sub>10</sub> modes with a full width at half maximum of 10&#x00A0;nm. Dispersion for hybrid modes is tunable around &#x00B1;15000 ps&#x002F;(nm.km), &#x00B1;22000 ps&#x002F;(nm.km), and &#x00B1;49000 ps&#x002F;(nm.km) occurring at wavelengths of 1272, 1372, and 1496&#x00A0;nm, respectively, in the telecommunication band. In the wavelength range from 1530 to 1600&#x00A0;nm, the proposed rib waveguide is free of hybrid modes. In this region, the waveguide exhibits a flat dispersion profile for all eight guided modes with a maximum &lt;1000&#x00A0;ps&#x002F;(nm.km).
