Efficient frequency generation in phoXonic cavities based on hollow whispering gallery mode resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on nonlinear optical effects on phoxonic cavities based on hollow whispering gallery mode resonators pumped with a continuous wave laser. We observed stimulated scattering effects such as Brillouin and Raman, Kerr effects such as degenerated and non-degenerated four wave mixing, and dispersive wave generation. These effects happened concomitantly. Hollow resonators give rise to a very rich nonlinear scenario due to the coexistence of several family modes.

Second-harmonic generation using -quasi-phasematching in a GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microcavity
The 4 crystal symmetry in materials such as GaAs can enable quasi-phasematching for efficient optical frequency conversion without poling, twinning or other engineered domain inversions. 4 symmetry means that a 90° rotation is equivalent to a crystallographic inversion. Therefore, when light circulates about the 4 axis, as in GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microdisks, it encounters effective doma...
متن کاملSelf-assembled hollow nanosphere arrays used as low Q whispering gallery mode resonators on thin film solar cells for light trapping.
Optical micro/nano-spherical cavities can be designed to confine light by generating resonances in whispering gallery modes (WGM) and then couple them into the substrate through leaky modes, which can be potentially used in thin film solar cells for absorption enhancements. In this work, the transparent ZnO electrodes in a hollow nanosphere (HNS) structure were proposed as WGM resonators to tra...
متن کاملPressure tuning of whispering gallery mode resonators
The effect of hydrostatic pressure on solid and hollow microsphere optical resonators was investigated. The primary goal was to explore the feasibility of a micro-optical pressure sensor based on whispering gallery modes (WGMs) and to quantify the deleterious effect of environmental pressure changes on other WGM-based sensors. Expressions were developed for WGM shifts due to changes in hydrosta...

We report on investigations into the coherent properties of rare-earth ion doped whispering gallery mode resonators at low temperatures. Our experiments with Pr:Y2SiO5 enabled direct measurement of cavity QED parameters, showing good agreement with calculated values. We will also describe the a couple of our theoretical proposals we are working toward implementing experimentally. The up-convers...
متن کاملHighly tunable low-threshold optical parametric oscillation in radially poled whispering gallery resonators.
Whispering-gallery resonators (WGR's), based on total internal reflection, possess high quality factors in a broad spectral range. Thus, nonlinear-optical processes in such cavities are ideally suited for the generation of broadband or tunable electromagnetic radiation. Experimentally and theoretically, we investigate the tunability of optical parametric oscillation in a radially structured WGR...
