Enhanced second harmonic generation in microfiber loop resonators
Enhanced second harmonic generation in microfiber loop resonators
Silica nanowires with high nonlinearities are attractive for a variety of applications such as continuum generation and new light sources. In particular, a growing interest was shown for using these nanowires for second harmonic generation (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG) [1-3]. However, conversion efficiencies remain low, and new methods to improve this conversion are still required. In this work we experimentally demonstrate enhanced SHG using a nonlinear microfiber loop resonator, in which the recirculation of the resonant pump wavelengths enhances the second harmonic conversion and reduces the required pump power.

Abstract
Silica nanowires with high nonlinearities are attractive for a variety of applications such as continuum generation and new light sources. In particular, a growing interest was shown for using these nanowires for second harmonic generation (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG) [1-3]. However, conversion efficiencies remain low, and new methods to improve this conversion are still required. In this work we experimentally demonstrate enhanced SHG using a nonlinear microfiber loop resonator, in which the recirculation of the resonant pump wavelengths enhances the second harmonic conversion and reduces the required pump power.
