Kerr-nonlinearity optical parametric oscillation in an ultrahigh-Q toroid microcavity.
Kerr-nonlinearity induced optical parametric oscillation in a microcavity is reported for the first time. Geometrical control of toroid microcavities enables a transition from stimulated Raman to optical parametric-oscillation regimes. Optical parametric oscillation is observed at record low threshold levels (174 micro-Watts of launched power) more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than for opti...
متن کاملBuild up of off-diagonal long-range order in microcavity exciton-polaritons across the parametric threshold.
We report an experimental study of the spontaneous spatial and temporal coherence of polariton condensates generated in the optical parametric oscillator configuration, below and at the parametric threshold, and as a function of condensate area. Above the threshold we obtain very long coherence times (up to 3 ns) and a spatial coherence extending over the entire condensate (40 μm). The very lon...
متن کاملEffect of interactions on vortices in a nonequilibrium polariton condensate.
We demonstrate the creation of vortices in a macroscopically occupied polariton state formed in a semiconductor microcavity. A weak external laser beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is used to imprint a vortex on the condensate arising from the polariton optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The vortex core radius is found to decrease with increasing pump power, and is determined by po...
متن کاملA proposal for highly tunable optical parametric oscillation in silicon micro-resonators.
We propose a novel scheme for continuous-wave pumped optical parametric oscillation (OPO) inside silicon micro-resonators. The proposed scheme not only requires a relative low lasing threshold, but also exhibits extremely broad tunability extending from the telecom band to mid infrared.
متن کامل1D microcavity–based optical parametric oscillator: generation of balanced twin beams in strong and weak coupling regime
We report on a detailed experimental investigation of interbranch parametric scattering processes in onedimensional semiconductor microcavities. Band dispersion and corresponding far field emission patterns are studied by polarization resolved and power dependence measurements under resonant and non-resonant excitation at normal incidence. We demonstrate the realization of optical parametric os...
