Correlated photon pair generation in AlGaAs nanowaveguides via spontaneous four-wave mixing.
We demonstrate a source of correlated photon pairs which will have applications in future integrated quantum photonic circuits. The source utilizes spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in a dispersion-engineered nanowaveguide made of AlGaAs, which has merits of negligible two-photon absorption and low spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS). We observe a coincidence-to-accidental (CAR) ratio up to 1...
متن کاملEnhanced second-harmonic generation in AlGaAs/AlxOy tightly confining waveguides and resonant cavities.
We demonstrate second-harmonic generation (SHG) from sub-micrometer-sized AlGaAs/AlxOy artificially birefringent waveguides. The normalized conversion efficiency is the highest ever reported. We further enhanced the SHG using a waveguide-embedded cavity formed by dichroic mirrors. Resonant enhancements as high as approximately 10x were observed. Such devices could be potentially used as highly ...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation at l51.6 mm in AlGaAs/Al2O3 waveguides using birefringence phase matching
Gallium arsenide is an outstanding nonlinear optical material, thanks to its high second-order nonlinear coefficient, wide transparency in the infrared, and possibility of integration with sources. However, phase matching for nonlinear frequency conversion is difficult to achieve in this isotropic, highly dispersive semiconductor. Although quasimatching by domain reversal was recently demonstra...
متن کاملSecond harmonic generation in AlGaAs photonic wires using low power continuous wave light.
We report modal phase matched (MPM) second harmonic generation (SHG) in high-index contrast AlGaAs sub-micron ridge waveguides, by way of sub-mW continuous wave powers at telecommunication wavelengths. We achieve an experimental normalized conversion efficiency of ~14%/W/cm2, obtained through a careful sub-wavelength design supporting both the phase matching requirement and a significant overla...
متن کاملEfficient continuous wave second harmonic generation pumped at 1.55 microm in quasi-phase-matched AlGaAs waveguides.
We have fabricated quasi-phase-matched AlGaAs waveguides for continuous-wave second-harmonic generation (SHG) pumped around 1.55 microm. We find that the losses, which limit the conversion efficiency of this type of waveguide, are resulted from two corrugations--the initial template corrugation and the regrowth-induced domain-boundary corrugations. We are able to reduce the waveguide loss by im...
