Abstract Second harmonic generation through nonlinear nano-photonic structures is important in both classical and quantum applications. It is commonly expected that the second harmonic frequency can always be generated as long as appropriate quadratic nonlinearity is provided by the material and the phase-matching condition is satisfied. Here, we present an anomaly to this common wisdom by showing that second-harmonic dipoles generated in a nonlinear photonic crystal slab can be completely nonradiative. As a result, no energy is transferred from the fundamental frequency to the second harmonic even when the phase-matching condition is satisfied – a phenomenon we call “resonance-forbidden second-harmonic generation”. Through numerical simulation, we identify two mechanisms that can achieve this phenomenon: symmetry protection and parameter tuning. The finite-size effect and the topological origin of this phenomenon are also discussed.

Phase Matching Condition

Microring resonators made of materials with a zinc-blend or diamond lattice allow exploiting their 4-bar symmetry to achieve quasi-phase matching condition for second-order optical nonlinearities. However, fabrication tolerances impose severe limits on the quasi-phase matching condition, which in turn degrades the generation efficiency. Here, we present a method to mitigate these limitations. As an example, we studied the geometry and the pump wavelength conditions to induce the second-harmonic generation in silicon-based microrings with a second-order susceptibility χzxy(2)≠0. We found the best compromises between performances and experimental requirements, and we unveil a strategy to minimize the impacts of fabrication defects. The method can be easily transferred to other material systems.

AbstractThe phase matching between the propagating fundamental and nonlinearly generated waves plays an important role in the efficiency of the nonlinear frequency conversion in macroscopic crystals. However, in nanoscale samples, such as nanoplasmonic structures, the phase-matching condition is often ignored due to the sub-wavelength nature of the materials. Here, we first show that the phase matching of the lattice plasmon modes at the fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies in a plasmonic nanoantenna array can effectively enhance the surface-enhanced second-harmonic generation. Additionally, a significant enhancement of the second-harmonic generation is demonstrated using stationary band-edge lattice plasmon modes with zero phase.

Doubly resonant second harmonic generation (SHG) in a monolithic cavity is theoretically analysed. Using a non birefringent material as non linear medium, it is shown that both the double resonance condition and the phase matching condition between the two counter propagating second harmonic intracavity waves can be satisfied with a cavity length equal to the coherence length of the non linear process, and with well designed mirror phases. It is also shown theoretically how the double resonance can be maintained with only one tuning parameter. A SHG cavity enhancement of a few tens of thousands may be achieved at double resonance.

Second-harmonic generation was studied in III-metal-polar GaN films grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and formed into ridge waveguides. Broadband near-IR femtosecond pulses of an optical parametric amplifier system were injected by end-fire coupling and the nonlinear response was measured while tuning the central wavelength. A prominent peak was found at 450 nm for 1140 nm thick and 10 μm wide GaN waveguides. The measured second-harmonic peak was in agreement with the modal-dispersion phase matching condition calculated using the dispersion of the extraordinary refractive indices of GaN obtained by prism coupling.
