Control of second-harmonic generation in doubly resonant aluminum nitride microrings to address a rubidium two-photon
Abstract:
Nonlinear optical effects have been studied extensively in microresonators as more photonics applications transitions to integrated on-chip platforms. Due to low optical losses and small mode volumes, microresonators are demonstrably the state-of-the-art platform for second-harmonic generation (SHG). However, the working bandwidth of such microresonator-based devices is relatively small, presenting a challenge for applications where a specifically targeted wavelength needs to be addressed. In this Letter, we analyze the phase-matching window and resonance wavelength with respect to varying microring widths, radii, and temperatures. A chip with precise design parameters was fabricated with phase matching realized at the exact wavelength of a two-photon transition of Rb85. This procedure can be generalized to any target pump wavelength in the telecom band with picometer precision.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...
