Integrated Gallium Nitride Nonlinear Photonics

Yanzhen Zheng et al.

Summary: This paper reports GaNOI microresonators with intrinsic quality factors over 2.5 million, corresponding to an optical loss of 0.17 dB cm(-1). It demonstrates a parametric oscillation threshold power as low as 6.2 mW and estimates the experimentally extracted nonlinear index of GaN at telecom wavelengths to be n(2) = 1.4 x 10(-18) m(2) W-1, which is several times larger than that of commonly used platforms such as Si3N4, LiNbO3, and AlN. The large intrinsic nonlinear refractive index, together with its broadband transparency window and high refractive index contrast, make GaNOI a promising platform for chip-scale nonlinear applications.
