Enhanced second harmonic generation in coupled semiconductor whispering gallery mode microresonators
Résumé
It has been shown that doubly resonant microcavities can be used to obtain miniaturized parametric devices leading for example to efficient second-harmonic generation (SHG). First we will briefly recall the basic properties of SHG in III-V semiconductor whispering gallery mode microdisks or microrings. Then we will show theoretically that by coupling such microresonators and by using the artificial dispersion of a side-coupled integrated spaced sequence of resonators (SCISSOR) it is possible to adapt the Fresnel phase-matching technique to the case of highly confining waveguides or to enhance the second order nonlinear properties of a semiconductor waveguide by slowing fundamental and second-harmonic waves.
