520 3 |a Light is confined transversely and delivered axially in a waveguide. However, waveguides are lossy static structures whose modal characteristics are fundamentally determined by their boundary conditions. Here we show that unpatterned planar waveguides can provide low-loss two-dimensional waveguiding by using space-time wave packets, which are unique one-dimensional propagation-invariant pulsed optical beams. We observe hybrid guided space-time modes that are index-guided in one transverse dimension and localized along the unbounded dimension. We confirm that these fields enable overriding the boundary conditions by varying post-fabrication the group index of the fundamental mode in a 2-μm-thick, 25-mm-long silica film, achieved by modifying the field’s spatio-temporal structure. Tunability of the group index over an unprecedented range from 1.26 to 1.77 is verified while maintaining a spectrally flat zero-dispersion profile. Our work paves the way to utilizing space-time wave packets in on-chip platforms, and enable phase-matching strategies that circumvent restrictions due to intrinsic material properties.Waveguides typically function by using boundary conditions to contain light. Here, the authors show that by using space-time wavepackets, light can be guided in an unpatterned planar waveguide as the field remains localized along the unbounded dimension.
