Multi-octave bandwidth supercontinuum generation in crystalline Aluminum Nitride-on-sapphire waveguides

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Sophie Brès, Raphaël Butté

Applications such as optical clocks, gas spectroscopy, and optical coherent tomography stand to benefit significantly from the integration of on-chip supercontinuum sources. Materials exhibiting both second- and third-order nonlinearities are particularly ...

On the influence of the buffer layer on the optical quality of AlN-on-sapphire epilayers for photonic integrated devices

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Sophie Brès, Raphaël Butté

In the last decade, aluminum nitride (AlN) has proven to be an attractive material for both linear and nonlinear integrated photonics, due to its large transparency window, its low propagation losses and the presence of both second- and third-order nonline ...

Ultrabroadband milliwatt-level resonant frequency doubling on a chip

Camille Sophie Brès, Ji Zhou, Marco Clementi

Microresonators are powerful tools to enhance the efficiency of second-order nonlinear optical processes, such as second-harmonic generation, which can coherently bridge octave-spaced spectral bands. However, dispersion constraints such as phase-matching a ...

Self-organized spatiotemporal quasi-phase-matching in microresonators

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Anton Stroganov, Ozan Yakar, Ji Zhou, Edgars Nitiss, Marco Clementi

Quasi-phase-matching (QPM) is a widely adopted technique for mitigating stringent momentum conservation in nonlinear optical processes such as second-harmonic generation (SHG). It effectively compensates for the phase velocity mismatch between optical harm ...

Monolithic silicon nitride electro-optic modulator enabled by optically-assisted poling

Camille Sophie Brès, Boris Zabelich, Christian André Clément Lafforgue

Electro-optic (EO) modulation is a key functionality to have on-chip. However, achieving a notable linear EO effect in stoichiometric silicon nitride has been a persistent challenge due to the material's intrinsic properties. Recent advancements revealed t ...

Bridging the Mode-Locked and Q-Switched Regimes in Fiber Lasers

Camille Sophie Brès, Jiaye Wu, Gang Wang

Mode-locking and Q-switching are two widely used pulsing techniques based on different mechanisms. In practice, both lasing regimes can be realized within the same laser system, while the current research on their transition dynamics presents challenges in ...

Ultrabroadband tunable difference frequency generation in a standardized thin-film lithium niobate platform

Camille Sophie Brès, Christian André Clément Lafforgue, Yesim Koyaz

Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) on an insulator is a promising platform for nonlinear photonic integrated circuits (PICs) due to its strong light confinement, high second-order nonlinearity, and flexible quasi-phase-matching for three-wave mixing processe ...

Observation of modulation instability in a coherently driven active fiber ring resonator at 2 µm wavelength

Camille Sophie Brès, Moritz Bartnick

We report the first, to our knowledge, observation of the nonlinear phenomenon known as modulation instability (MI) in a coherently driven fiber resonator pumped at 1972 nm. To compensate for the very high losses in this spectral region, we have integrated ...

Electric-field poling of a silicon nitride microring resonator for linear electro-optic modulation

Camille Sophie Brès, Boris Zabelich, Christian André Clément Lafforgue, Edgars Nitiss

The centrosymmetric structure of stoichiometric silicon nitride inhibits the realization of second-order nonlinear processes in this low-loss, complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor fabrication-compatible platform. Nevertheless, linear electro-optic modul ...

Optically assisted electrical poling of silicon nitride integrated resonators

Camille Sophie Brès, Boris Zabelich, Christian André Clément Lafforgue

We demonstrate the linear electro-optic effect in a silicon nitride micro-ring in which an effective second order nonlinearity is enabled by optically assisted electrical poling. Charge carriers' separation in the waveguide creates a permanent electric-fie ...
