Fabrication of submicrometer high refractive index tantalum pentoxide waveguides for optical propulsion of microparticles

Design, fabrication, and optimization of tantalum pentoxide (Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) waveguides to obtain low-loss guidance at a wavelength of 1070 nm are reported. The high-refractive index contrast (Δn ~ 0.65, compared to silicon oxide) of Ta<sub>2</sub>O&l...
