Engineering photonic crystal cavities in III-V semiconductors for X(2) frequency conversion
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Nonlinear optics has traditionally been associated with large, high power devices and applications. Engineering photonic devices with high nonlinearities at low input powers and in a compact size is more challenging, but opens up a range of new applications and possibilities in spectroscopy, sensing, imaging and quantum information processing. Photonic crystal cavities provide a promising platform for achieving such lower power operation, as the low mode volumes and high quality factors allow significant intensity buildup within the cavities for very low input powers, in a device footprint on the order of a few microns. In this dissertation, we investigate the potential of photonic crystal cavities fabricated in III-V semiconductors for nonlinear frequency conversion via the second order nonlinear susceptibility of the semiconductor.
