AbstractIn this manuscript, we demonstrate the first phase modulator using titanium dioxide as a strip loaded waveguide on thin-film lithium niobate. The amorphous titanium dioxide was fabricated using RF reactive sputtering followed by a dielectric lift-off process. Two gold electrodes were deposited next to the waveguide by using the same process. This process eliminates the need for plasma etching or high-temperature vapor deposition methods, opening the door to fabrication on sensitive material systems. A propagation loss of 0.156 dB/mm and Všœ‹ of 3.2 V at 1550 nm were experimentally measured and reported.en_US
