Ultrahigh-efficiency wavelength conversion in nanophotonic periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides
Abstrak
Periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide is a powerful platform for efficient wavelength conversion. Conventional PPLN converters however typically require long device lengths and high pump powers due to the limited nonlinear interaction strength. Here we use a nanostructured PPLN waveguides to demonstrate an ultrahigh normalized efficiency of 2600%/W-cm$^2$ for second-harmonic generation of 1.5-$\mu$m radiation, more than 20 times higher than that in state-of-the-art diffused waveguides. This is achieved by a combination of sub-wavelength optical confinement and high-fidelity periodic poling at a first-order poling period of 4 $\mu$m. Our highly integrated PPLN waveguides are promising for future chip-scale integration of classical and quantum photonic systems.
