Resonantly enhanced third harmonic generation in microfiber loop resonators
Resonantly enhanced third harmonic generation in microfiber loop resonators
We theoretically study third harmonic generation in silica microfiber loop resonators wherein the large resonant field strength is exploited to increase the efficiency and reduce the required pump power, with a focus on the influence of loop parameters such as loss and coupling. For a 3 mm length loop, the conversion can reach several percent, that is, 640 times greater than an equivalent straight microfiber, for input powers as low as 100 W. The harmonic signal can be toggled between a high- and low-output state due to hysteresis at higher powers, and the efficiency can be further enhanced if the harmonic light is recirculated and coresonant with the pump.

Abstract
We theoretically study third harmonic generation in silica microfiber loop resonators wherein the large resonant field strength is exploited to increase the efficiency and reduce the required pump power, with a focus on the influence of loop parameters such as loss and coupling. For a 3 mm length loop, the conversion can reach several percent, that is, 640 times greater than an equivalent straight microfiber, for input powers as low as 100 W. The harmonic signal can be toggled between a high- and low-output state due to hysteresis at higher powers, and the efficiency can be further enhanced if the harmonic light is recirculated and coresonant with the pump.
