Abstract
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is demonstrated with unprecedented efficiency for a single-pass device. Modal phase-matching in GaAs-on-insulator waveguides is used to convert a 2.0 µm TE pump to a 1.0 µm TM signal with an efficiency of 40 W−1 in a length of 2.9 mm. The FWHM bandwidth of the signal is 0.5 nm, and efficient SHG is demonstrated over a temperature range of 45 ◦C. Devices are fabricated on 76 mm wafers with high uniformity and the loss at the signal wavelength is reduced by minimizing the surface defect states. The GaAs-on-insulator waveguides will enable an integrated f-2f self-referencing system through integration with SiN waveguides.Citation
