Cavity-enhanced harmonic generation in silicon rich nitride photonic crystal microresonators
Cavity-enhanced harmonic generation in silicon rich nitride photonic crystal microresonators
We report second and third harmonic generation in photonic crystal cavities fabricated in a suspended silicon rich nitride (SiNx) membrane under resonant continuous-wave excitation at telecom wavelength. Two-dimensional photonic crystal cavities with a far-field optimized line-width modulated design were employed. A quality factor at fundamental wavelength as high as Q = 1.3 x 104 and a coupling efficiency ηe ~ 30% enabled to exploit the cavity field enhancement to achieve the generation efficiencies ρSH = (4.7 ± 0.2) x 107 W-1 and ρTH = (5.9 ± 0.3) x 105 W-2. The absence of saturation effects at high power and the transparency of the device at second harmonic wavelength suggest the absence of two-photon absorption and related detrimental effects.

Abstract
We report second and third harmonic generation in photonic crystal cavities fabricated in a suspended silicon rich nitride (SiNx) membrane under resonant continuous-wave excitation at telecom wavelength. Two-dimensional photonic crystal cavities with a far-field optimized line-width modulated design were employed. A quality factor at fundamental wavelength as high as Q = 1.3 x 104 and a coupling efficiency ηe ~ 30% enabled to exploit the cavity field enhancement to achieve the generation efficiencies ρSH = (4.7 ± 0.2) x 107 W-1 and ρTH = (5.9 ± 0.3) x 105 W-2. The absence of saturation effects at high power and the transparency of the device at second harmonic wavelength suggest the absence of two-photon absorption and related detrimental effects.
