Second-harmonic generation in AlGaAs microdisks in the telecom range

Opt Lett. 2014 May 15;39(10):3062-5. doi: 10.1364/OL.39.003062.

Abstract

We report on second-harmonic generation in whispering-gallery-mode AlGaAs microcavities suspended on a GaAs pedestal. Frequency doubling of a 1.58 μm pump is observed with 7×10(-4) W(-1) conversion efficiency. This device can be integrated in a monolithic photonic chip for classical and quantum applications in the telecom band.
