In this letter, we propose a new approach of hetero-cladding for realization of compact CMOS compatible silicon photonic directional couplers. The proposed hetero-cladding comprises ferroelectric BaTiO<sub>3</sub> (BTO) and SiO<sub>2</sub> to control the evanescent mode within the structure. The results show very small and identical coupling length for both TE and TM modes with reduced device cross-section, which promises for a huge reduction in the footprint of both conventional and programmable photonic integrated circuits. The concept can also be utilized to design compact, low loss and energy efficient phase shifters, other types of couplers, sensors etc.

In this paper, we develop a technique for realizing multi-centimeter-long lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) waveguides with a propagation loss as low as 0.027 dB/cm. Our technique relies on patterning a chromium thin film coated on the top surface of LNOI into a hard mask with a femtosecond laser followed by chemo-mechanical polishing for structuring the LNOI into the waveguides. The surface roughness on the waveguides was determined with an atomic force microscope to be 0.452 nm. The approach is compatible with other surface patterning technologies, such as optical and electron beam lithographies or laser direct writing, enabling high-throughput manufacturing of large-scale LNOI-based photonic integrated circuits.
