Highly efficient second harmonic generation of thin film lithium niobate nanograting near bound states in the continuum
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are ubiquitous physical phenomena where such states occur due to strong coupling between leaky modes in side lossy systems. BICs in meta-optics and nanophotonics enable optical mode confinement to strengthen local field enhancement in nonlinear optics. In this study, we numerically investigate second-harmonic generation (SHG) in the vicinity of BICs with a photonic structure comprising one-dimensional nanogratings and a slab waveguide made of lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 , LN). By breaking the symmetry of LN nanogratings, BICs transition to quasi-BICs, which enable strong local field confinement inside LN slab waveguide to be supported, thereby resulting in improving SHG conversion with lower pump power of fundamental frequency (FW). With a peak intensity of 1.33 GW cm −2 at the FW, our structure features a second-harmonic conversion efficiency up to 8.13 × 10 −5 at quasi-BICs. We believe that our results will facilitate the application of LN in integrated nonlinear nanophotonic.
