Second-harmonic generation in a high-index doped silica micro-ring resonator

We report the first, to the best of our knowledge, observation of second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a high-index doped silica micro-ring resonator, due to the symmetry-breaking-induced chi((2)) at the core and cladding interface of the waveguide. The generated SH power is shown to have quadratic dependence on the in-cavity power of the fundamental pump at around 1550 nm. The pumping wavelength sweep method is adopted to fulfill the phase-matching condition for maximum conversion efficiency of SHG. This work offers a new approach to generate a visible source for the visible-light integrated optical platform from infrared-visible light con- version. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
