Second-harmonic generation in a silicon-carbide-based photonic crystal nanocavity.

چکیده
We demonstrate second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a silicon-carbide (SiC)-based heterostructure photonic crystal nanocavity by using a pulsed laser. We observe SHG light radiated from the SiC nanocavity and estimate the conversion efficiency in the cavity to be 2.59×10(-5) (=0.15 W(-1)) at an average input power of 0.17 mW. The near-field patterns and polarization characteristics of the SHG light are investigated experimentally and theoretically, and the results are in qualitatively good agreement.

Low-power continuous-wave generation of visible harmonics in silicon photonic crystal nanocavities.
We present the first demonstration of frequency conversion by simultaneous second- and third-harmonic generation in a silicon photonic crystal nanocavity using continuous-wave optical excitation. We observe a bright dual wavelength emission in the blue/green (450-525 nm) and red (675-790 nm) visible windows with pump powers as low as few microwatts in the telecom bands, with conversion efficien...

متن کاملSuppression of multiple photon absorption in a SiC photonic crystal nanocavity operating at 1.55 μm.
We show that a SiC photonic crystal cannot only inhibit two photon absorption completely, but also suppress higher-order multiple photon absorption significantly at telecommunication wavelengths, compared to conventional Si-based photonic crystal nanocavities. Resonant spectra of a SiC nanocavity maintain a Lorentzian profile even at input energies 100 times higher than what can be applied to a...
