Highly efficient broadband second harmonic generation mediated by mode hybridization and nonlinearity patterning in compact fiber-integrated lithium niobate nano-waveguides
The inherent trade-off between efficiency and bandwidth of three-wave mixing processes in χ(2) nonlinear waveguides is the major impediment for scaling down many well-established frequency conversion schemes onto the level of integrated photonic circuit. Here, we show that hybridization between mode...

description | The inherent trade-off between efficiency and bandwidth of three-wave mixing processes in χ(2) nonlinear waveguides is the major impediment for scaling down many well-established frequency conversion schemes onto the level of integrated photonic circuit. Here, we show that hybridization between modes of a silica microfiber and a LiNbO(3) nanowaveguide, amalgamated with laminar χ(2) patterning, offers an elegant approach for engineering broadband phase matching and high efficiency of three-wave mixing processes in an ultra-compact and natively fiber-integrated setup. We demonstrate exceptionally high normalized second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of up to η(nor) ≈ 460% W(−1) cm(−2), combined with a large phase matching bandwidth of Δλ ≈ 100 nm (bandwidth-length product of Δλ · L ≈ 5 μm(2)) near the telecom bands, and extraordinary adjustment flexibility. |
