Doubly resonant second-harmonic generation of a vortex beam from a bound state in the continuum

Nicolas Grandjean, Romuald Houdré, Jean-François Carlin, Matteo Galli, Jun Wang, Marco Clementi, Momchil Minkov

Second-harmonic generation in nonlinear materials can be greatly enhanced by realizing doubly resonant cavities with high quality factors. However, fulfilling such doubly resonant condition in photonic crystal (PhC) slab cavities is a long-standing challen ...

Ultra-wide-band structural slow light

Romuald Houdré, Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov, Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Aliem Mohamed

The ability of using integrated photonics to scale multiple optical components on a single monolithic chip offers key advantages to create miniature light-controlling chips. Numerous scaled optical components have been already demonstrated. However, presen ...

Influence of Disorder and Finite-Size Effects on Slow Light Transport in Extended Photonic Crystal Coupled-Cavity Waveguides

Romuald Houdré, Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov, Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Aliem Mohamed

A convenient approach for slowing down light in integrated optical circuits is by utilizing a set of coupled microcavities in a photonic crystal lattice. While this provides for flexibility in dispersion engineering, light transport is influenced by a comb ...

Efficient continuous-wave nonlinear frequency conversion in high-Q gallium nitride photonic crystal cavities on silicon

Nicolas Grandjean, Romuald Houdré, Jean-François Carlin, Vincenzo Savona, Matteo Galli, Momchil Minkov, Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Aliem Mohamed

We report on nonlinear frequency conversion from the telecom range via second harmonic generation (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG) in suspended gallium nitride slab photonic crystal (PhC) cavities on silicon, under continuous-wave resonant excitat ...

Photonic crystal slab cavity simultaneously optimized for ultra-high Q/V and vertical radiation coupling

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

We present a design for a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab cavity in which the electric field localization is due to an extra hole in the lattice, as opposed to the more standard procedure of removal of holes. This leads to a tighter field confinement ...

Numerical study and optimization of photonic crystals

Momchil Minkov

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are engineered nanostructures that enable an extraordinary control over the flow of light. These structures can be fabricated out of common semiconductors, are compatible with existing industrial fabrication technologies, and are e ...

The third-order nonlinearity of silicon gives rise to a spontaneous four-wave mixing process in which correlated photon pairs are generated. Sources based on this effect can be used for quantum computation and cryptography, and can in principle be integrat ...

Iop Publishing Ltd2016

Topological insulators have attracted abundant attention for a variety of reasons-notably, the possibility for lossless energy transport through edge states "protected" against disorder. Topological effects such as the quantum Hall state can be induced thr ...

The outstanding progress in nanostructure fabrication and cooling technologies allows what was unthinkable a few decades ago: bringing single-mode mechanical vibrations to the quantum regime. The coupling between photon and phonon excitations is a natural ...

American Physical Society2015

Slow light has a variety of applications, in particular for enhanced nonlinear effects like four-wave mixing and high-harmonic generation. Here, we propose a photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide with an ultracompact arrangement of the constituent cavi ...
