Impedance matching in photonic crystal microcavities for second-harmonic generation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By numerically integrating the three-dimensional Maxwell equations in the time domain with reference to a dispersive quadratically nonlinear material, we study second-harmonic generation in planar photonic crystal microresonators. The proposed scheme allows efficient coupling of the pump radiation to the defect resonant mode. The outcoupled generated second harmonic is maximized by impedance matching the photonic crystal cavity to the output waveguide.

Second-harmonic generation in doubly resonant microcavities with periodic dielectric mirrors.
Strong enhancement of second-harmonic generation (SHG) is expected in one-dimensional microcavities when double resonance for the pump and the harmonic fields, as well as phase matching, are achieved. The realization of a doubly resonant microcavity with dielectric mirrors made of nonbirefringent materials is difficult because of the refractive index dispersion of the constituent media. Here we...
متن کاملThe role of group index engineering in series-connected photonic crystal microcavities for high density sensor microarrays.
We experimentally demonstrate an efficient and robust method for series connection of photonic crystal microcavities that are coupled to photonic crystal waveguides in the slow light transmission regime. We demonstrate that group index taper engineering provides excellent optical impedance matching between the input and output strip waveguides and the photonic crystal waveguide, a nearly flat t...
متن کاملNonlinear Optics in Porous Silicon Photonic Crystals and Microcavities
This paper is a survey of our recently published and new results on nonlinear-optical studies of photonic band-gap (PBG) structures formed from mesoporous silicon. The studies are performed on photonic crystals, high-quality-factor microcavities (MC) with a half-wavelength-thick microcavity spacer, and on series of coupled microcavities with two identical microcavity spacers and controllable co...
متن کاملCascaded third-harmonic generation in a single short-range-ordered nonlinear photonic crystal.
Collinear third-harmonic generation at 526.7 nm was realized by the simultaneous phase matching of two second-order processes in a single quadratic crystal: second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum-frequency mixing (SFM). The measured conversion efficiency was 12%. As a nonlinear medium a LiNbO(3) nonlinear photonic crystal with short-range order was used that allowed simultaneous phase matchin...
متن کاملχ ( 2 ) and χ ( 3 ) harmonic generation at a critical power in inhomogeneous doubly resonant cavities
We derive general conditions for 100% frequency conversion in any doubly resonant nonlinear cavity, for both secondand third-harmonic generation via χ (2) and χ (3) nonlinearities. We find that conversion efficiency is optimized for a certain “critical” power depending on the cavity parameters, and assuming reasonable parameters we predict 100% conversion using milliwatts of power or less. Thes...
