摘要
We demonstrate integrated photonic microdisk resonators in sputtered c-axis oriented aluminum nitride (AlN) films. A 400nm thick layer of AlN was patterned in a single lithography step with silicon dioxide used for the top and bottom cladding layers. AlN disks with a radius of 20 mu m at various spacings to an 850 nm wide waveguide were tested. A loaded quality factor of 28 350 is shown in these microdisks, with an extracted peak shift over power ratio of 0.0495 pm/mu W. The demonstration of photonic resonators in a piezoelectric material can lead to novel optomechanical functionalities. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4772601]
